WASHINGTON — Leading members of the coronavirus task force warned White House officials about the health risks of holding large-scale indoor campaign rallies and advised against such mass gatherings, according to two people familiar with the discussions. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, and task force response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx both vocalized concerns internally in the last week about the safety of holding a rally on Saturday with as many as 19,000 people in an enclosed arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma. But President Donald Trump and his campaign advisers are proceeding with the event, which is expected...

Should Donald Trump hold rally Saturday?

More than two days before the president is set to take the stage in Oklahoma for his first rally since the coronavirus lockdowns, ardent Trump supporters are already lining up to camp outside the venue. President Trump on Saturday night is scheduled to rally with supporters at BOK Center, a venue in Tulsa which can hold around 20,000 people. Fox News spotted at least two dozen Trump supporters outside on Thursday morning.

Two Tulsa, Okla., attorneys filed a lawsuit Tuesday to enforce coronavirus safety measures at President Trump's rally at the BOK Center. Trump is set to hold a rally at the indoor sports venue Saturday, the first he has planned since March, around the time when the U.S. was hit hard by the pandemic. Attorneys Clark Brewster and Paul DeMuro said they filed lawsuit to compel the management company ASM Global to enforce social distancing measures and mandate face masks for all of those at the rally, including for those who are working the event. Both Brewster and DeMuro said that...

Kevin Stitt said Monday after talking with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence that nearly one million people have requested tickets to the event.

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale on Monday said they have received more than 1 million ticket requests for President Trump’s first campaign-style rally since the coronavirus lockdowns slated to take place Saturday.

Supporters of President Donald Trump will receive temperature checks, masks and hand sanitizer before entering his rally Saturday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Trump’s campaign manager said Monday. The rally - Trump’s first in more than three months - comes amid signs that the U.S. could be headed for a resurgence of the coronavirus pandemic, even as so-called hot spots for the disease see a decline in cases. Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted that in addition to the above precautions, organizers will take steps to account for the mid-June heat and bottled water will be provided to attendees.

Trump is careful to pick his battles. Sticking to the June 19th date for his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was an unnecessary battle, so the rally is currently set for June 20, a date that even leftists canÂ’t challenge. Despite the date switch, it looks as if over 800,000 people have signed up to attend. Faced with that data, the media has stepped up its efforts to try to reinstate Wuhan Virus fear. When the Trump Campaign announced that TrumpÂ’s first post-lockdown rally would be in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 19th, leftists, both within and outside of the media, tried...

NEW YORK (AP) - Thousands of marchers dressed in white flooded several blocks around the Brooklyn Museum to support human rights for black transgender people Sunday afternoon.

A top health official in Oklahoma wants President Trump to push back his rally indefinitely over concerns that it could increase the number of coronavirus cases. Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Bruce Dart told Tulsa World on Saturday that the city is experiencing a “significant increase in our case trends” that could be hazardous to rally attendees and the president. “I think it’s an honor for Tulsa to have a sitting president want to come and visit our community, but not during a pandemic,” he said. “I’m concerned about our ability to protect anyone who attends a large, indoor event,...

Every four years, the nation’s corrupt news media establishment embarks on a mass brainwashing campaign designed to discourage Republican voters from participating by convincing them their candidate cannot win. We have seen this phenomenon take place in every election cycle in the modern era, starting with the Ford/Carter contest of 1976. This election cycle is certainly no exception: In fact, it may already be the most intense yet. The Trump Campaign reported yesterday that it has already received more than 300,000 ticket requests for the President’s upcoming rally on June 20 in Tulsa. On Friday, by contrast, Joe Biden at...

President Trump’s rescheduled campaign rally next weekend has received the largest number of ticket requests for any of his events, his campaign team claimed on Sunday. “Just passed 800,000 tickets,” Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager, tweeted. “Biggest data haul and rally signup of all time by 10x. Saturday is going to be amazing!” Trump had originally scheduled the rally for June 19, known as Juneteenth, a commemoration of when Texas slaves were made aware of the end of slavery in the United States two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Tulsa, Okla., the location for the rally, was the scene in...
