Trump has planned Campaign Rally but Sanders and Biden canceled their Campaign Rallies
Listen to this articleU.S President Donald Trump has announced he’ll hold a campaign event in Wisconsin, in spite of his own administration advising people to avoid events with large crowds to help stop the spread of coronavirus. On 19th March 2020, Trump will attend a Catholics for Trump event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The event isn’t a typical campaign rally because the number of expected attendees is not yet known. The White House held a briefing from the coronavirus task force including recommendation that people should avoid crowding. Trump announced these rallies just hours after Senator Bernie Sanders and vice president Joe Biden canceled their campaign rallies in Cleveland, Ohio.
It is noteworthy that 3 cases of coronavirus were confirmed in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. On Monday, the Governor Mike DeWine also declared a state of emergency. Vice President Mike Pence said Trump would schedule rallies on a day-to-day basis. President Trump has been in contact with lawmakers that have self-quarantined due to coronavirus exposure. Trump replied when asked about his own coronavirus tests and said, “I don’t think it’s a big deal. I would do it”. However, Trump also maintains he doesn’t need to, because the White House doctor allegedly said he was in good health. Trump also said, “But, again, I spoke to the White House doctor, terrific guy, and talented guy”.
He added, “There is no reason to do it. There’s no symptoms, no anything. And you know what? If there were, you people would be the first to know it”. Trump also said, “You would maybe even tell me about it”. The congressmen who have self-quarantined are Representatives Doug Collins, Matt Gaetz, and Mark Meadows. Gaetz and Meadows have tested negative for the virus. Gaetz initially mocked the severity of the virus by wearing a gas mask to the House floor during a vote. Last month, Collins and Gaetz were exposed to the virus at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland.
