Trump holds indoor Nevada rally in defiance of state coronavirus rules

By the numbers: Nevada has limited gatherings to 50 people in response to the virus, which has in the U.S. killed more than 194,000 people and infected 6.5 million, per Johns Hopkins.

• The World Health Organization announced Sunday that U.S. cases were a leading factor in a record 307,930 new coronavirus cases reported in the previous 24 hours.
• India reported the most new cases (94,372), followed by the U.S. (45,523) and Brazil (43,718), per the WHO. The U.S and India both reported more than 1,000 deaths in 24 hours from COVID-19.

Of note: While many attendees at the Henderson, Nevada, event didn't wear face coverings, those right behind Trump in the stands were required to wear masks, AP notes.

• Following Trump's last rally, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a health official said the event "more than likely" contributed to a surge in coronavirus cases in the city.

• Among those in attendance in Tulsa was former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, who died of COVID-19 weeks later. It's unclear whether he contracted the virus at Trump's rally.

What they're saying: "If you can join tens of thousands of people protesting in the streets, gamble in a casino, or burn down small businesses in riots, you can gather peacefully under the 1st Amendment to hear from the President of the United States," a Trump campaign official told NBC.
