Former President Donald Trump is set to hold his first campaign rally since his felony conviction in Las Vegas. Trump is also scheduled for a pre-sentencing interview with a probation officer tomorrow for a hush money case, with sentencing for 34 felony counts set for next month in New York.
The pre-sentencing interview will be virtual, with a probation officer present at Mar-a-Lago. Trump's defense attorney will accompany him during the interview. The Trump team is expected to submit pre-sentencing recommendations on June 13th, with sentencing scheduled for July 11th, just before the Republican National Convention in July.
Despite ongoing discussions about potentially shifting the sentencing date, the Trump campaign aims to focus on the general election campaign, emphasizing key voter issues like immigration, crime, and the economy, particularly in Nevada.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch Trump supporter, criticized Trump's conviction during a rally, hinting at potential retribution against political opponents. Trump himself has suggested prosecuting opponents if re-elected, a theme likely to feature in his speech.
The Las Vegas rally faces extreme heat, with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. Precautions include additional fans, 38,000 water bottles for attendees, and medical attention for heat-related issues. A previous event in Phoenix saw eleven people hospitalized for heat-related illnesses, despite being indoors.
With the Las Vegas rally being outdoors, organizers are closely monitoring potentially hazardous conditions due to the scorching weather.
