The first "tele-rally" (TELE-Rally, can also be translated as "tele-congress") Trump held on July 17. Addressing supporters who joined the conference, he remarked that the US is "doing a good job" of finding a vaccine for COVID-19.

“But until this issue is resolved, it is difficult to hold large rallies, so I will conduct them by phone, and we will call them “Trump rallies,” ”CNN quotes the words of the American president.
