Diehard supporters of US President Donald Trump camp near the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, ahead of Trump's rally. The virus has since killed nearly 120,000 Americans and caused huge disruption to a once booming economy — which had been Trump's strongest reelection selling point.

Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders accused Trump of being "willing to spread the Covid-19 virus in order to hear some cheers."
