As Twitchy reported earlier today, former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee was hoping to tidy up his Facebook accounts before launching his campaign for president Wednesday evening; however, he’d forgotten his password.
The show must go on, though, and reporters are setting up to cover the grand announcement. We think supporters from the general public are welcome, and the good news is that there’s still plenty of seating available. The room accommodates 300, although it was partitioned in half for the big event.

The room Chafee will be speaking in set up for 129 people right now. No campaign signs yet, university doesn't think there will be. @wpri12

Here's the room 40 minutes to Chafee Pres Announcement. No signs, no crowd yet. Just media types. @wpri12 pic.twitter.com/F0akCTnNkv

Daily Kos managed to get a good shot of Chafee surrounded by enthusiastic supporters, even if they did have to reach back into the archives and his 2013 signing of the Marriage Equality Act to find it.

Exit question:
If you hold a presidential announcement and no one comes, did it really happen? https://t.co/rNZomXyI00
