New York Times: “The vast majority of July 4th fireworks displays in big cities and small rural towns have been canceled. Most politicians, including Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, are foregoing the traditional parades and flag-waving appearances.”
“President Trump, however, has a different, discordant message: the sparkly, booming show must go on at all costs. Mr. Trump is set to travel to South Dakota on Friday evening for a massive fireworks display at the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, a made-for-TV patriotic display that he has spent years lobbying to revive.”
“He plans to follow up his trip with a ‘Salute to America’ celebration the following day on the South Lawn at the White House, including a military flyover and a massive fireworks display on the National Mall that Washington’s mayor, Muriel Bowser, has warned violates local health guidelines.”
