The Trump campaign is plowing ahead with in person rallies and campaign events even as several members of its staff recover from coronavirus amid a cluster of cases in the White House.

Per Politico, many state and local officials have said they’ve gotten little notice, if any, from the Trump campaign about these events — and not all of them are outdoors.

The President’s son, Donald Trump Jr., held a fairly crowded indoor rally on Thursday at a Holiday Inn in Panama City Beach, Florida, where few wore masks.

Other events have exceeded local limits on crowd size and have not strictly enforced social distancing or mask-wearing even though many of the gatherings feature Trump officials with recent exposure to the virus as speakers.

Amid his own recovery from COVID-19, President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night that he is planning to hold a campaign rally on Saturday “if we have enough time to put it together.”

Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, who also recently announced a positive test for coronavirus, previously suggested that the President might hold an in person rally next Thursday in lieu of participating in a virtual debate with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. 

Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence appeared at an outdoor event in Boulder City, Nevada, on Thursday where few in attendance wore masks.

Lisa LaPlant, Boulder City’s communications manager told Politico it was “disappointing” to see people in the crowd effectively disregard the state’s mandate, noting that the city had maintained a low infection rate “because of compliance and people’s willingness to follow the state directive.”

Some local officials along Trump’s campaign trail have said they fear a repetition of the chaotic scramble by health officials in Minnesota, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., to determine who may have been exposed to coronavirus at events attended by the President leading up to his announcement that he had been infected with COVID-19 last week. 

Public health experts have said the Trump campaign should be actively limiting crowds and encouraging social distancing and masks, a practice that has been largely ignored by Trump’s cohort.

Georges Benjamin the executive director of the American Public Health Association told Politico that campaign events of all sizes should be scheduled in coordination with local officials, noting that much of Trump’s campaign staff are “coming from an environment where there’s been a major outbreak.”

The Trump campaign has called for next week’s presidential debate to take place in person as it had originally been planned after a statement from White House physician Dr. Sean Conley appeared to clear him for a return to public engagements.

The statement released late Thursday said that there was “no medical reason why the Commission on Presidential Debates should shift the debate to a virtual setting, postpone it or otherwise alter it in any way.”

“The commission must stop protecting Joe Biden from this in-person debate and allow the event to proceed as it was agreed to months ago,” Trump’s reelection campaign said. “The American people can see through this obvious attempt to shield Biden from another shellacking like he got two weeks ago in Cleveland and the CPD must reverse course and let the debate proceed.”

The statement comes after President Donald Trump told Fox News early Wednesday that he would not participate in a virtual debate after the commission said the two candidates would join the second presidential debate remotely while its moderator and town hall participants convened in Miami in consultation with the Cleveland Clinic “to protect the health and safety of all involved.”

“I’m not going to do a virtual debate,” Trump told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo on Thursday morning dismissing a measure that was installed after Trump staffers and his family appeared at the debate hall in Ohio last month and largely refused to wear masks. Days later the President tested positive for coronavirus and a ripple of cases have spread throughout the White House. 

 The Biden campaign later on Thursday scheduled a town hall with ABC News on Oct. 15, the night of the originally scheduled town hall debate with Trump. 

But in a statement on Thursday night, Conley said that Trump “has responded extremely well to treatment,” adding that Saturday would mark 10 days since Trump’s diagnosis last Thursday.

“Based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the President’s safe return to public engagements at that time,” Conley said.

But it’s still unclear whether Trump has formally tested negative for COVID-19 since he began his recovery. The test is a key indicator — identified by the CDC — to determine whether or not a person previously infected with coronavirus remains contagious.

Conley’s memo did not explicitly say if a negative test had been obtained and Trump dodged a question from Fox News host Sean Hannity on the issue when asked directly about it on Thursday night.

Conley’s comments also appeared to contradict earlier statements made by the White House doctor, who on Monday suggested that President Trump might be at risk through Saturday and Sunday.

“We’re looking to this weekend,” he told reporters during a news conference at that time. “If we can get through to Monday, with him remaining the same — or improving, better yet — then we will all take that final deep sigh of relief.”

The sudden shift in Trump’s recovery timeline points at the possibility of White House pressure to medically clear the President for public activity again amid the President’s resistance to a virtual debate where he is unable to rely on familiar bullying tactics.
