A group of lawmakers have urged the Trump administration to cancel a Fourth of July celebration in the nation’s capital due to concerns that the social distancing challenges at a mass event like the scheduled “Salute to America” might fan the flames of the pandemic.
Expressing “serious concerns,” the 10 lawmakers, which include both Senators and House members, sent a letter (pdf) on Tuesday to the secretaries of the Defense and Interior, saying “we urge you to immediately suspend any plans of such an event.”
