The rally, his first since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, had originally been planned for Juneteenth but was moved back one day after widespread criticism. Attendees are required to sign a waiver and "assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19" upon registration for the event, hosted indoors at the Bank of Oklahoma Center.

In an interview with Axios released on Friday night, Trump said that masks at the event wouldn't be mandatory, describing them as "a double-edged sword."

When asked if he recommended people wear them at the event, Trump replied: "I recommend people do what they want."

Concerns of coronavirus spread and reopening were split across party lines

Concerns around the spread of the coronavirus vary based on political party, according to the poll.

70% of Democrats and 53% of independents are very concerned about coronavirus spreading. Only 35% of Republicans feel the same.

And while 62% of Democrats feel "very" concerned about the dangers of reopening too quickly, 51% of Republicans are "very" concerned about the economic impact of reopening too slowly.

Overall, respondents are also split with regards to the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic. 38% believe that quarantines and lockdowns were "about right," and 38% believe the government's response "didn't go far enough." 19% think it went too far.

The poll was conducted between June 13th and 16th by the Democratic organization Beacon Research and the Republican research team Shaw & Company. Researchers conducted phone interviews with 1,343 randomly chosen registered voters across the US. The poll reported a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points for all registered voters.
