President Donald Trump visits Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday for a controversial campaign rally, his first in three months. Trump put his rallies on hiatus in March amid the coronavirus pandemic. Saturday’s event will be held in the 19,000-seat BOK Center, even though Oklahoma has seen a spike in coronavirus cases in recent weeks. Trump is also wrestling with criticism over his handling of nationwide protests against police brutality and racism. His campaign moved the rally back by one day after facing intense pushback for its original selection of June 19, or Juneteenth, which commemorates the Emancipation Proclamation. Critics also noted the city’s 1921 race massacre, one of the worst in U. S. history.
All of Major League Baseball’s spring training facilities in Arizona and Florida will be closed this weekend after the league decided to immediately shut them down Friday night to combat the coronavirus, USA TODAY Sports’ Bob Nightengale reports. Also, players and staff cannot return to the facilities until they have tested negative for the virus.
