Workers attempt to hang a banne... campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla.

Workers attempt to hang a banner off of the top level of a parking garage near the BOK Center on June 19, 2020, the day before President Donald Trump is holding his campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla.

Supporters of President Donald Trump started lining up for his first reelection campaign rally of 2020 in Tulsa, Oklahoma up to two days before it was scheduled to start despite some rain and the threat of the coronavirus.

Even with the lower-than-expected turnout for the campaign rally, thousands of supporters and protesters gathered throughout the day in Tulsa on Saturday. A stage was set up outside the BOK Center where Trump was planning to address an overflow crowd, but it was canceled when there were not enough attendees for him to have the speech.

Outside the event, protesters from across the political spectrum were in the streets of downtown Tulsa with groups like Black Lives Matter, the Revolutionary Communist Party, Boogaloo Boys and Proud Boys. Loud arguments could be heard all day and some small physical altercations broke out, but the day’s events were largely peaceful.

"We are selling and using masks, we are keeping all of the preventive measures that we can," Wichers said about her concerns about COVID-19 spreading.
