White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday said that President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has taken a series of safety precautions for the upcoming rally in Oklahoma, but that attendees would still assume the kind of “personal risk” that goes along with any large-scale event.

“When you come to a rally, as with any event, you assume a personal risk. That is what you do. When you go to a baseball game, you assume a risk. That is part of life,“ McEnany said, adding, ”It is the personal decision of Americans as to whether to go to the rally or whether not to go to the rally.”
