But its last full indoor rally in Tulsa sparked significant controversy after cases of coronavirus in the city lasted just over 2 weeks and several campaign workers, along with Secret Service agents, tested positive for the virus.
In the end, less than 6,200 people took part in the rally, which was intended to signal a return to Trump’s campaign. The low attendance was blamed on the sharp reaction from the media and “radical opponents” about gathering such a large crowd during the epidemic.
Henderson has already warned Extreme Manufacturing that it would violate state rules if the rally went ahead.
“The City Hef Henderson has issued an adherence letter and verbal warning to the event organizer that the planned event would be a direct violation of the Governor’s Civil-19 Emergency Directive. In particular, gatherings of more than 50 people in a private or public setting are prohibited,” Said in a statement to CNN.
“Large live events must be approved by the Nevada Department of Business and Industry, Department of Industrial Relations, and at this time, the City has not been notified that the event has not been approved. The City may assess fines of up to $ 500 per violation as directed by the Governor. Suspending or revoking the business license. “
The Trump campaign is not estimating how many people could be present, but the event is expected to exceed state limits.
Social distance is not expected to apply to those present by the venue, who will be seated in rows lined up next to each other in rows, and few who have attended any of the recent rallies have worn masks. CNN has asked the campaign why it is blocking the rally completely from the inside.
“Each participant will be checked for temperature before entering, given a mask that they will be encouraged to wear, and plenty of hand sanitizers to access,” a campaign official told CNN.
The details of Extreme Manufacturing include the introduction of an even stricter policy for the state’s attendance level on its website: “We do not limit meetings and gatherings to more than 10 people in large areas, and to attend meetings by telephone or video conference whenever possible.”
A company spokesman did not return numerous requests for comment on why it decided to host the rally.
Mike Gwynn, a spokesman for the Democratic nominee B Biden, said in a statement Sunday evening, “If Donald Trump had taken the slightest care to control the virus and protect his supporters, he would not have organized these events, but Trump does.” .t and it won’t. “
“Every rally turns into a superstar event. Donald Trump reminded Americans that Trump still refuses to take this epidemic seriously and still has no plans to stop it, even after the deaths of nearly 200,000 people and numerous economic losses,” he said.
Extreme’s owner, Don Ahron, also owns a Las Vegas hotel that hosted August’s “Trump Evangelicals for Trump” campaign program that exceeded state limits and violated some of the city’s health restrictions.
Democrat, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolok and a Las Vegas official have claimed that the “obscure behavior” of some businesses is being shown after the hotel’s 50-person limit was argued.
The original locations selected by his campaign for Nevada rallies, which are expected to be at airport hangars, with the event’s connection both outdoors and outdoors, pulled out as they were going beyond the 50-person state limit.
