Trump to hold first post-coronavirus rally in Oklahoma: President Trump is planning to hold his first rally of the coronavirus era on June 19 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And he says he’s planning more events in Florida, Texas and Arizona as well. Trump’s signature rallies often draw tens of thousands of people but have been on hiatus since March 2 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Trump also told reporters at the White House that he would announce a new location soon for a speech in August accepting the Republican Party’s nomination for president. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/502143-trump-to-hold-first-post-coronavirus-rally-in-oklahoma
