Trump to Speak to Jewish Republicans in Vegas But Won't Rally
President Donald Trump plans to speak to the Republican Jewish Coalition’s conference in Las Vegas on Saturday despite the coronavirus outbreak, but his campaign decided against holding a rally in Reno, Nevada, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Trump is the keynote speaker at the RJC conference, which will take place at the Venetian and Palazzo hotels, properties owned by Republican mega-donor and Trump confidant Sheldon Adelson. The conference hasn’t been canceled and Trump plans to attend, the people said.
As part of the same trip, Trump will attend a Friday roundtable on conservation in Denver. Trump hasn’t held one of his signature rallies, which draw thousands of his supporters, since March 2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. His campaign hasn’t announced any future rallies, though he will hold a large event in Milwaukee next week to launch a “Catholics for Trump” coalition.
The White House has taken additional precautions to prevent infected people from encountering the president and his staff, including asking visitors whether they’ve traveled overseas in the last two weeks. Trump and Pence have both continued to shake hands with people at public events, but Grisham has said the president frequently uses hand sanitizer and washes his hands.
