TULSA—After the leader of the state Democratic Party said she considered the initially Juneteenth planned Trump campaign rally to be an insult to Blacks, the event was rescheduled for Saturday, June 20.
She said she and others were especially incensed that President Donald J. Trump had planned to visit Tulsa on June 19, which is Juneteenth Day.
Since the day for the rally has been changed, Mayor Bynum has made it clear that the campaign event would not be held in Tulsa on any date.
The comments arrived as President Trump prepares to hold his first campaign rally in more than three months at the BOK Center in Tulsa, an arena with an audience capacity of about 19,000 people.
A campaign official told The Hill that the event will still take place inside the BOK Center, but said the campaign is also looking into other areas adjacent to the arena that would allow President Trump to “address even more people.”
