WATCH LIVE: Trump holds first indoor rally in months in Nevada

by

President Trump is set to appear at a campaign rally in Henderson, Nev., on Sunday night, marking his first indoor rally in months as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage.

The plans for the event to be indoors has sparked criticism, and local officials have sent warnings to the host of the event because it violates state rules prohibiting gatherings of more than 50 people during the pandemic. 

The Trump campaign has hit back, however, arguing the event is justified. 

"If you can join tens of thousands of people protesting in the streets, gamble in a casino, or burn down small businesses in riots, you can gather peacefully under the 1st Amendment to hear from the President of the United States," Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told reporters.

Masks will be handed out to rallygoers, though they will not be required to wear them. 

Trump is set to take the stage at 10 p.m. E.T.
