Trump moves Wisconsin rally amid concerns from local officials
By Brett Samuels - 10/01/20 04:27 PM EDT
The Trump campaign has moved one of two Wisconsin rallies planned for Saturday amid pushback from local officials who raised concerns about public health risks.
The campaign has relocated a rally to Janesville from La Crosse, an official said, citing an issue with the venue in the first location. President Trump is still expected to speak in Green Bay later Saturday.
The official disputed that the change was related to the coronavirus pandemic, but the shift comes in the face of pressure from local leaders.
"I am concerned. Any time you're going to have that large of an event, and based on what I've witnessed with other rallies by the president, the expectation is going to be no social distancing and very few people wearing masks," Mayor Tim Kabat told The La Crosse Tribune. "So the last thing we need is another spike in cases, we're already in that severe or high risk, and we don't need anymore."
