House Democrat introduces bill to prevent Trump campaign from requiring COVID-19 liability waivers at rallies
By Cristina Marcos - 06/16/20 12:17 PM EDT
A new bill introduced on Tuesday by Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) would prevent President Trump's reelection campaign from issuing liability waivers, protecting it from lawsuits should supporters attend a rally and contract the coronavirus.
Pocan, a co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, named the legislation the Refusal to Accept Losses or Liability In Every Situation Act (RALLIES) Act.
The bill would ban enforcement of liability waivers for indoor gatherings of 1,000 people or more in localities where the number of COVID-19 cases has been increasing in the preceding 14 days.
Trump's campaign is set to hold a rally in Tulsa, Okla., on Saturday, which will be the first since the coronavirus pandemic began.
