US President Trump held the first indoor campaign rally since June in Western Nevada on September 13, ignoring the state government’s restrictions on the number of rallies promulgated to prevent the spread of the new crown epidemic.
The meeting place was set in the warehouse of "Extreme Manufacturing", a construction machinery manufacturer in Henderson City, a suburb of Las Vegas.
The images at the scene showed that many members of the rally were wearing red baseball caps with the Trump campaign slogan "Make America Great Again".
The exact number of people at the rally is unknown, but it clearly far exceeds the maximum number of 50 people for indoor and outdoor assemblies promulgated by the Nevada state government in May.
This epidemic prevention regulation refers to the "restart" economic guidance issued by the White House in various regions, and aims to curb the spread of the virus.
Nevada's Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak issued a statement criticizing Trump's anti-epidemic performance: "When Nevada is committed to returning the economy to the right track, the president's behavior is shameful, dangerous and irresponsible. "
The outbreak in the United States has spread rapidly since March, with a total of more than 6.5 million confirmed cases and nearly 195,000 deaths.
