• President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is rethinking their staple arena rallies after the weak turnout at Saturday's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, sources told CNN.
• The campaign had boasted of a huge interest in the event, but only 6,200 people ended up showing up, with coronavirus fears likely being a factor for supporters' absence.
• According to CNN, the campaign has since tabled previous plans to announce another rally in the near future, and advisers say it could be months before they organize another rally.
• One source also told CNN the campaign might aim to hold more rallies outdoors, where people might feel more safe from the virus.
