Officials in Tulsa, Oklahoma, worry that President Trump's first rally in three months on Saturday could set the stage for potential clashes between his supporters and protesters, and may also exacerbate a new spike in COVID-19 cases
TULSA, Okla. - When President Donald Trump takes the stage at his first rally in three months on Saturday night, the scene in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will be familiar: a large venue filled with ardent supporters wearing “Keep America Great” hats and T-shirts.
“His style and message won’t change, but the world has. I don’t know if he can get to places that people now care about,” said Amy Koch, a Republican strategist based in Minnesota, a battleground state Trump narrowly lost in 2016 and aims to flip this year. “Ultimately, the president doesn’t ask for permission before he” goes places, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, a Republican, said during a briefing on Wednesday. “So we found out that the president was coming, so we are going to make sure it’s the best and the safe as possible.”
Andrews said there would be many such events but that they were in the planning stages. Any event would be outside and not at the arena, she added.“I fear for my community,” said Hall-Harper, whose husband is a police officer.
