Trump, due to pandemia, decided to conduct election rallies by phone

US President Donald Trump announced that due to the pandemic of coronavirus, telephone election rallies will conduct instead of traditional ones, Interfax reports citing CNN.

“Until it will be decided, it will be difficult for us to conduct these large mass rallies, so I spend telephone rallies, and we will call them Trump’s rallies, but we will do it by phone,” he told his voters from the state of Wisconsin.

The US president has already held one such event on Friday. Trump called him "the first television in history." For 23 minutes, Trump discussed various topics, including responded to criticizing his probable rival from the Democratic Party in the upcoming Joe Biden elections about the reaction of the American administration to the pandemic.

Trump told the supporters during the event that the United States cope with coronavirus very well, but while the vaccine and the covid-19 cure are developed, "it will be very difficult to conduct mass rallies." He proposed to call the events in the new format "Trump's rallies."

CNN notes that this decision followed after Trump’s rally in Tals (Oklahoma). Then representatives of the Department of Health Oklahoma said that due to the rally there was a surge of new Covid-19 cases.

In addition, much fewer supporters of the president came to the event than expected, which was an unpleasant surprise for the president, known for his love for personal meetings with voters. Against the backdrop of the Pandemia of Coronavirus, he became the object of criticism, since people did not observe the recommended distance on a pair of such events and almost no one wore masks.

The Republican Party of the United States decided to limit against the background of the second outbreak of coronavirus the number of participants in the congress in Jacksonville, the state of Florida, where Trump must formally give consent to the nomination of his presidential candidate.

The candidate from the Democratic Party in the upcoming presidential election, former vice president Joe Biden also previously refused to conduct election rallies.

A week ago, Trump for the first time since the beginning of the Pandemia of Coronavirus appeared in public in a medical mask. He put it on during a visit to the hospital, in which the military people who were injured in the war zone are treated.
