President Trump's re-election effort is working to avoid future underwhelming crowds while also considering new safety measures for all large events this summer, according to multiple people familiar with the decision-making.

The campaign advance team and anyone who will be in close contact with the president will continue to be tested before the rally. In Tulsa, at least six members contracted the virus while on the ground, including Secret Service personnel. After the rally, two more advance staffers who had attended the event tested positive.

"From the very beginning, the governor has said he plans to avoid large gatherings of people so long as COVID is still around," a spokesman for Sununu said."He intends to greet the president of the United States at the airport — as he has for every other presidential visit — and then depart ahead of the rally."

The president could be forced by Jacksonville’s local guidelines to limit the number of people in order to stay under the capacity of whatever venue he chooses. The city has mandated that masks be worn indoors, although it's unclear how long that will continue. The Republican National Committee has said it will follow local guidelines.

No decisions have been finalized, but several prominent Republican senators have said they won't attend the convention because of health concerns.

The only way to avoid underwhelming crowds is to crowd whoever shows up closely together.

I think free beer works on Trump supporters.

He needs to pay more people to show up.

Is that seriously what he’s focused on?

This will be a clusterfuck .

'According to...'🤣😂🤣NBC is nothing but propaganda, gross.

Large events like this?:

Television events would be a lot safer . People always tune in . He obviously doesn’t care who gets infected

All the Americans should have united together, to combat the Coronavirus, to learn how to protect yourself and how to protect your country! You are entitled to voice your need in the right way! Pls dont fall into the trap of the opponents and make the riots!

Tulsa hit a new high in virus cases this week. Right on schedule. Good luck Jacksonville. DeSantis is an ignorant fool. He’s on pace to go down in history as Florida’s biggest mass murderer. Please don’t give them your children until the schools are completely safe.

Tulsa was perfect. Underwhelming and infectious. parscale

trump supporters can expect some sort of skewered half cocked rally plans bcause his organizers are as inept as he is

G

Only vote for Joe if you just hate.

Did all those campaign people get fired?

It doesn't matter. Independent voters are through with him. He's had hundreds of opportunities to improve, be more pragmatic & be presidential, but 99% of the time, the stubborn, it's my way or the highway, narrow-minded mid-size co. CEO takes over. We elect presidents not CEOs.

SayNoToSleepyJoe

Not a fan of Trump but why doesn’t he just do virtual events for the time being? Almost all social media platforms now offer a LIVE feature

Good will prevail over the cruel depravity of trump and trumpublicans Biden2020

If a president finds himself speaking to an underwhelming crowd chances are he's been elected improperly because those he should be representing aren't being spoken to so it's time to find a new leader that will speak to everyone instead.

You mean the Trump campaign is working to avoid Democrat Marxists, who threaten to attack everyone who attends a Trump rally.

There should be no large events in the summer

Hey askin for help is anyone willing to donate a $1 to my sister, nephew & I, I lost both my jobs due to COVID I filed for unemployment but waitin for the benefit and we dont have any food & bills comin up if you can help we would be super grateful Venmo or Cashapp MattMartins147
