2020 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11, Stage 11
Stage 11 saw the riders make their way inland and east across central France towards the Alps. The second consecutive nearly pan-flat stage meant a second day in a row for the sprinters. In the neutral zone before the official race start, several riders, including Cyril Gautier, Ilnur Zakarin, and stage 6 winner Alexey Lutsenko, crashed on a roundabout, though all riders involved were able to continue onwards. Once the race did start, a sole rider, Mathieu Ladagnous (Groupama–FDJ), attacked to form the day's breakaway.


2020 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11, Stage 11
Around 20 kilometers into the stage, another breakaway attempt was made, as Oliver Naesen (AG2R La Mondiale), Lukas Pöstlberger (Bora–Hansgrohe), Stefan Küng (Groupama–FDJ), Tom Van Asbroeck (Israel Start-Up Nation), Michael Gogl (NTT Pro Cycling), and Jasper Stuyven (Trek–Segafredo) tried to make it up the road. However, with an intermediate sprint along the stage, Deceuninck–Quick-Step, the team of the points classification leader Sam Bennett, quickly reeled back in the six riders.


2020 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11, Stage 11
Out in front, Ladagnous won the mountain point for the only categorized climb, the Côte de Cherveux, and the maximum points at the intermediate sprint before he was eventually caught, winning the stage's combativity award for his efforts. Back in the peloton, many of the sprinters lined it out for the remaining points. Bennett won the sprint for second, with his lead-out man Michael Mørkøv holding on for third ahead of Peter Sagan, Matteo Trentin, and Bryan Coquard.


2020 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11, Stage 11
A crash with 30 kilometers left involving several Astana riders forced Ion Izagirre to abandon the race with heavy injuries; he was the second abandonment of the day following Gregor Mühlberger, who had abandoned earlier due to illness. With just over six kilometers left, Pöstlberger was once again on the attack, putting in a late bid for the win. Like before, Deceuninck–Quick-Step were forced to close him down, with Kasper Asgreen and Bob Jungels giving chase. Eventually, they were caught with two kilometers left, with the sprint trains leading the peloton.


2020 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11, Stage 11
The hectic sprint culminated in a bike throw at the line from four riders. Caleb Ewan accelerated out of Bennett's slipstream and won the bike throw for the stage win. Sagan pipped Bennett for second, with Wout van Aert squeezed off the podium. However, shortly after the stage, race officials relegated Sagan to 85th place, last in the lead group, for dangerous behavior during the sprint. van Aert had been leading the sprint on the right side of the road, with Clément Venturini on his wheel.


2020 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11, Stage 11
Both Bennett and Sagan were on Venturini's wheel, and when they accelerated, Bennett went left and Sagan went right. With little space between van Aert and the barriers, Sagan used his shoulder to nudge the Belgian, who nearly deviating left into Bennett's path, before accelerating through the widened gap past van Aert. As a result, Sagan missed out on any points, while Bennett, who was elevated to second place and gained 30 points, significantly increased his lead in the points classification over the Slovakian to 68.

Tadej Pogačar secured third place on the summit while in the yellow jersey group.


2020 Tour de France, Stage 12 to Stage 21, Stage 17

2020 Tour de France, Stage 12 to Stage 21, Stage 18
For the first two climbs, Marc Hirschi went ahead of Richard Carapaz, but Hirschi crashed while descending after Col des Saisies, leaving Carapaz, teammate Michał Kwiatkowski, and Pello Bilbao as race leaders. On the climb to Glieres Plateau, Mikel Landa tried to distance away from the yellow jersey group, but was soon caught up before reaching the summit, while dropping top 10 cyclists Adam Yates, Rigoberto Urán, and Alejandro Valverde.


2020 Tour de France, Stage 12 to Stage 21, Stage 18

The penultimate stage of the tour was an individual time trial and it featured a Category 1 climb at the end of the stage, with the last portion of the climb having a 20% gradient. Because of this, aside from the yellow jersey (in which Primož Roglič had less than a minute lead over compatriot Tadej Pogačar), the king of the mountains (KoM) jersey was also up for grabs (Richard Carapaz had a 2-point edge over Pogačar).


2020 Tour de France, Stage 12 to Stage 21, Stage 20
The stage started with Rémi Cavagna finishing the individual time trial at a faster time with most of the cyclists prior to the final 20 cyclists. Subsequently, two Team Jumbo–Visma teammates were faster than Cavagna, Wout van Aert by almost 30", and Tom Dumoulin, 10" faster than van Aert. Carapaz started slow on the stage in preparation for his jersey defense but was not able to get any points after the stage concluded.


2020 Tour de France, Stage 12 to Stage 21, Stage 20
Pogačar was slowly chipping away Roglič's lead on the first and second checkpoints, and on the climb, Pogačar was able to overturn the deficit, besting Roglič by almost two minutes. He also became the stage winner while Roglič finished fifth. Since Pogačar climbed the fastest, he also won the KoM jersey over Carapaz. Sam Bennett still owned the green jersey despite not finishing in the top 10.

After going solo on stage 4 and winning that stage by over a minute and a half, Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel of Deceuninck–Quick-Step held on to win the race comfortably over Danish rider Jakob Fuglsang of Astana and British rider Simon Yates of Mitchelton–Scott. Evenepoel dedicated his win to teammate Fabio Jakobsen, who had crashed on stage 1 and suffered several severe injuries. In winning the race at 20 years and 197 days old, Evenepoel became the third youngest winner, and second youngest distinct winner, of the Tour de Pologne after Dariusz Baranowski, who won the 1991 and 1992 editions of the race at 19 and 20 years of age, respectively.

The main breakaway of the day was made up of four riders, Polish riders Kamil Małecki of CCC Team and Maciej Paterski riding for the Polish national team, Dutch rider Julius van den Berg of EF Pro Cycling, and British rider Sam Brand of Team Novo Nordisk. The result for each of the three intermediate sprints was the same, with Paterski winning all of them, followed by Małecki in second and van den Berg in third; this meant that Paterski would be the first wearer of the blue jersey as the leader of the active rider classification. Later in the race, Małecki won the first KOM point in the first lap of the finishing circuit, and van den Berg would take the second KOM point before the breakaway was brought back with around 20 kilometers to go.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 1
The stage was marred by several crashes late in the race, with Colombian rider Juan Sebastián Molano of UAE Team Emirates and German rider John Degenkolb of Lotto–Soudal among those to fall. The most notable of these crashes was a high-speed crash on the downhill sprint finish. As Dutch riders Dylan Groenewegen of Team Jumbo–Visma and Fabio Jakobsen of Deceuninck–Quick-Step were contesting the sprint, Groenewegen diverted from his line and veered to his right, colliding into Jakobsen, who was coming up alongside him.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 1
This caused Jakobsen to crash into and through the barriers, somersaulting and colliding with a race official sitting near the finish line. This crash caused a chain reaction and, with the barriers also coming loose, resulted in several more riders crashing behind the Dutch duo, including French rider Marc Sarreau of Groupama–FDJ, Spanish rider Eduard Prades of Movistar Team, and Belgian rider Jasper Philipsen of UAE Team Emirates. Groenewegen himself crashed as well, just after he crossed the finishing line when a flying section of barrier caught his back wheel.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 1
After the stage, the race jury decided to disqualify Groenewegen for his actions, thus expelling him from the race and expunging him of the win, which went to Jakobsen. Furthermore, the UCI fined Groenewegen 500 Swiss francs for violating UCI rules. In November 2020, Groenewegen was handed a nine-month ban for causing the crash, backdated to the day of the incident.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 1
Jakobsen and the race official were taken to the hospital in critical condition, as were Sarreau, Prades, and French rider Damien Touzé of Cofidis, although the latter three suffered comparatively less severe injuries and only required further exams. The race official was reported to only have suffered a head injury and was in stable condition. The race doctor reported that Jakobsen had suffered several major injuries, including serious brain trauma and damage to the upper respiratory tract, a broken palate, and heavy blood loss, and remained in life-threatening condition. Later in the day, Jakobsen's condition was described as stable, but he remained in a medically induced coma awaiting further surgeries.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 2
Overnight, Jakobsen underwent intensive facial surgery, and doctors brought him out of the coma later in the day, reporting that he was "awake and in good condition." They elaborated, saying that "the extent of his injuries are such that his recovery process is expected to be 'long and arduous,'" but he was able to move his arms and legs and communicate with doctors. None of Jakobsen's vital organs were hit and major neurological problems were ruled out.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 2
As a result of the injuries sustained in the previous day's crashes, Jakobsen, Prades, Sarreau, and Touzé did not start stage 2. Due to Jakobsen's and Sarreau's abandonments, Kamil Małecki, the best placed rider to start the stage, wore the yellow jersey.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 2
The day's breakway was made up of two riders from the previous day's breakaway: Maciej Paterski and Julius van den Berg, who were the leaders of the active rider and mountains classifications, respectively. To add to their respective leads, Paterski won both intermediate sprints, while van den Berg won the KOM points on the only categorized climb of the day. With around 16 kilometers to go, the duo were caught by the peloton. A late attack from Patryk Stosz of the Polish national team with under 10 kilometers didn't last long, and he was swiftly brought back as several teams, notably Trek–Segafredo and Bora–Hansgrohe, began to set up for their sprinters.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 2
Current road world champion Mads Pedersen of Trek–Segafredo took his first win in the rainbow jersey, as the Danish rider sprinted early and managed to hold off Bora–Hansgrohe's Pascal Ackermann and Deceuninck–Quick-Step's Davide Ballerini at the line.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 3
On the uphill sprint finish, Ecuadorian rider Richard Carapaz of Team Ineos managed to catch everyone by surprise when he attacked with around 350 meters to go and managed to create enough separation from the peloton to hold on for the win, with Italian rider Diego Ulissi of UAE Team Emirates nearly catching Carapaz at the line to claim second. Commentators remarked that his effort was reminiscent of the one that Carapaz pulled when he won Stage 4 of the 2019 Giro d'Italia.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 4
The day's breakaway was a quintet made of a trio of Australian riders (Nathan Haas of Cofidis, Chris Harper of Team Jumbo–Visma, and James Whelan of EF Pro Cycling) and a pair of Polish riders (Kamil Małecki of CCC Team and Patryk Stosz riding for the Polish national team). These five riders took all the points on offer at each of the first five KOM points, and Patryk Stosz was able to move into the lead of the mountains classification at the end of the day with the points he got. With around 62 kilometers to go, Haas and Stosz were dropped from the group, and a few kilometers later, the peloton caught up the rest of the breakaway.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 4
With 51 kilometers to go, 20-year-old Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel of Deceuninck–Quick-Step managed to break and stay away for a solo victory. As he crossed the line, he dedicated his win to recovering teammate Fabio Jakobsen and held up a "75" bib number which Jakobsen wore. The next closest competitor, Danish rider Jakob Fuglsang of Astana, finished over a minute and a half behind Evenepoel, giving the Belgian a sizable lead heading into the final stage.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 4
Richard Carapaz, who was wearing the leader's yellow jersey, crashed earlier in the stage and struggled, finishing over three minutes behind Evenepoel and, as a result, dropped out of the top ten. Interestingly, the results of the stage meant that, for the fourth day in a row, new riders led the general, sprints, and mountains classifications.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 5
The original breakaway of the day contained four riders. Australian rider James Whelan of EF Pro Cycling, who was in the breakaway the day before, was joined by French rider Geoffrey Bouchard of AG2R La Mondiale, Canadian rider Hugo Houle of Astana, and British rider Luke Rowe of Team Ineos, while Przemysław Kasperkiewicz, riding for the Polish national team, soon bridged across to make it a quintet. With under 70 kilometers to go, two more riders made it across to the breakaway, those being Dutch rider Jos van Emden of Team Jumbo–Visma and Bouchard's teammate and fellow Frenchman Alexis Gougeard.


2020 Tour de Pologne, Stages, Stage 5
Kasperkiewicz, who had won both of the KOM sprints since he joined the breakaway, was the first to be dropped from it. However, it was only under around 7 kilometers left did the peloton finally catch up to the rest of the breakaway, and several teams, including Groupama–FDJ and Trek–Segafredo, began pulling on the front for their sprinters. In the end, it was Italian rider Davide Ballerini of Deceuninck–Quick-Step, one of Fabio Jakobsen's leadout men, that won in a close sprint just ahead of the heavy favorite, German rider Pascal Ackermann of Bora–Hansgrohe.

2020 Tri Nations Series
The 2020 Tri Nations Series was the seventeenth edition of the annual southern hemisphere competition, involving Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. On 16 October 2020, 2019 Rugby Championship winners and 2019 Rugby World Cup champions South Africa confirmed their withdrawal from the originally planned 2020 Rugby Championship due to South African government travel restrictions, player welfare and safety concerns related to COVID-19. This meant that the competition temporarily returned to its previous Tri-Nations format - played across six weekends with each team playing each other twice.


2020 Tri Nations Series
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was moved to later in the year than usual. It had been mooted that all matches might be played in New Zealand, however, in September 2020 it was announced that all matches would be held in Australia rather than in all of the competing nations.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Background
The competition was operated by SANZAAR, a joint venture of the four countries' national unions, and known for sponsorship reasons as The Investec Tri Nations Series in New Zealand, The eToro Tri Nations Series in Australia, and The Personal Tri Nations Series in Argentina.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Background
The format for the 2020 tournament should have returned to the previous Championship format which was used in 2018, after the shortening of the 2019 edition due to the World Cup. Each side would have played the others once at home and once away, giving a total of six matches each, and twelve in total. A win earns a team four league points, a draw two league points, and a loss by eight or more points zero league points. A bonus point is earned in one of two ways: by scoring at least three tries more than the opponent in a match, or losing by seven points or fewer. The competition winner is the side with the most points at the end of the tournament.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Background
The competition went through several schedule changes throughout 2020. The dates and venues for the original tournament were confirmed on 4 February, with South Africa being the final nation to announce their home Tests for the first half of the international season. New Zealand Rugby, the Argentine Rugby Union, and Rugby Australia announced their Test schedules for the 2020 Rugby Championship on 2 December 2019, 8 January and 30 January respectively. These dates ultimately changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a second schedule was released, where double-headed games would take place in Australia across six weekends.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Background
On 8 October, the schedule was revised to allow a quarantine period for New Zealand on their return home (to avoid a clash with Christmas), and therefore round six was split and the Australia v New Zealand game moved to 31 October. Following the withdrawal of South Africa from the tournament, the competition reverted to its Tri-Nations format (not played since Argentina joined the competition in 2012) with the tournament played over six consecutive weekends with only one game played each round, rather than the originally planned double headers.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Background
The global quarantining measures and need to maintain a bubble meant that match official neutrality was not possible, and the team of match officials came from Australia and New Zealand. All coaches were supportive of this necessary position - including the two Australia-New Zealand games which were fairly appointed in the same manner as that of the first two Bledisloe Cup matches.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Other cups
The Bledisloe Cup, Mandela Challenge Plate, Freedom Cup and the Puma Trophy are contested annually during the Rugby Championship by select teams.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Other cups
The Bledisloe Cup is traditionally contested by Australia and New Zealand in two home-and-away legs, with an additional leg in non-World Cup years, as is the case in 2020. However, due to the special circumstances of this edition due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bledisloe Cup was contested over four Tests: two stand-alone matches played in New Zealand in October in consecutive Sundays, and a further two to be hosted in Australia which will double as the first two Rugby Championship fixtures. New Zealand retained the trophy for an 18th consecutive year after winning Game 2 (27-7) and Game 3 (5-43); Australia won Game 4 (24-22), and Game 1 finished in a 16-all draw.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Other cups
Unlike the Bledisloe Cup, the Mandela Challenge Plate (contested between Australia and South Africa), the Freedom Cup (contested between New Zealand and South Africa) and the Puma Trophy (Argentina and Australia) are not decided by a third match. The teams play each other twice during the Rugby Championship (but only once in Rugby World Cup years), and the challengers are required to beat the holders in both games to win the plate or trophy.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Overview
The 2020 Tri Nations Series had multiple elements of the unknown; they have come about as a result of many changes within the national setups, as is often the case in a year post-World Cup. The 2020 tournament sees a mix of the outgoing World Champions and current World No. 2 ranked All Blacks, an expected resurgent Wallabies (World Ranking of 6th), and a Los Pumas side (ranked 11th) looking to build on their 2019 record and the preceding 2020 Super Rugby season, all clashing heads.


2020 Tri Nations Series, Overview
A number of senior players retired from International duty from all four of the sides at the conclusion of the 2019 season and new Head Coaches were appointed, including significantly new coaching setups at the All Blacks, Wallabies and Springboks. The Rugby Championship was the first testing ground for the three teams since their respective changes, and the first round of International Rugby for them all since the 2019 Rugby World Cup, after the July Internationals were either cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020 Trier attack
At 13:45 on 1 December 2020, a man rammed pedestrians with an SUV at high speed in a pedestrian zone in Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, killing five people—a 45-year-old man and his infant daughter, and three women aged 25, 52 and 73— and wounding 24 others. The driver, who was alone in the car and had a blood alcohol content of 0.14%, was arrested at the scene.


2020 Trier attack
The driver was identified as a 51-year-old local homeless man of German nationality. He was born in Trier and at the time of the attack lived in the car. Police do not think that he acted for political, religious or ideological motives, but for mental health problems mixed with the alcohol abuse. Investigators said that he wanted to kill and injure as many people as possible.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election
General elections were held in Trinidad and Tobago on Monday, 10 August 2020, to elect 41 members to the 12th Trinidad and Tobago Republican Parliament. It was the 14th election since gaining independence from the United Kingdom in 1962 and the 22nd national election in Trinidad and Tobago ever. Tracy Davidson-Celestine, political leader of the Tobago Council of the People's National Movement (PNM) became the first woman to lead a Tobagonian political party with representation in the House of Representatives. Additionally, two of the three largest parties elected in 2015, the United National Congress (UNC) and the Congress of the People (COP), were led by women.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election
President Paula-Mae Weekes, with the advice of Prime Minister Keith Rowley, dissolved Parliament and issued the writs for the election on 3 July 2020.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election
The first-term incumbent People's National Movement (PNM), led by incumbent Prime Minister Keith Rowley, won 22 seats to form a second five-year term majority government by defeating the opposition United National Congress, led by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election
Her latest in a series of losses at the polls which commenced with the January 2013 Tobago House of Assembly election with the wipeout of her People's Partnership-led administration from the Tobago House of Assembly due to a landslide victory by the Tobago Council of the PNM, losses at the 2013 Trinidadian local elections, St. Joseph and Chaguanas West bye-elections, loss in the 2015 Trinidad and Tobago general election, and subsequent losses in local government bye-elections has placed pressure on her to offer her resignation before the 2020 United National Congress leadership election. The UNC finished with 19 seats. The results in six constituencies were subject to recounts, causing the final election results to be delayed by a week. This is the first parliamentary election in Trinidad and Tobago where the result was not finalized the day after the election.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election
Voters elected the 41 members to the House of Representatives by first-past-the-post voting. Rowley and the new cabinet were sworn in on 19 August 2020.

In this case, the options for forming the Government are either a minority government or a coalition government.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Parties and candidates
Political parties registered with the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) can contest the general election as a party.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Parties and candidates

Prior to the election, the People's National Movement, led by Prime Minister Keith Rowley formed a majority government. The largest opposition party was the United National Congress, led by Kamla Persad-Bissessar. The Congress of the People was the sole other party in Parliament, represented by a single MP.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Parties and candidates

On 14 July 2020, the leader of the Patriotic Front, Mickela Panday, announced that her party will no longer be contesting the 2020 elections due to lack of time to prepare for the August 2020 polls.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Parties and candidates
The following registered parties are contesting the general election, the People's National Movement is the only party fielding all 41 seats (39 in Trinidad and two in Tobago), 14 parties are contesting seats in Trinidad only and four parties are contesting seats in Tobago only.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Parties and candidates, Ideology
Significant differences in the programs of the two major parties UNC and PNM cannot be identified. The UNC is traditionally more of an Indo-Trinidadian party, while Afro-Trinidadians and Tobagonians make up the majority of the PNM's base. In Trinidad, however, racial differences play a subordinate role, the dominant subject areas in the media are the stagnating economy and the high rate of violent crime; here both parties claim that they are better suited to combat them. In the closing stages of the election campaign, Prime Minister Rowley and citizens accused the UNC of using racist motives in its advertising campaign.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Parties and candidates, Ideology
Some parties only represent regional positions. This applies in particular to the parties PDP and OTV, who are running exclusively in Tobago and advocate for regional interests of the island and the MND, which advocates the interests of the Diego Martin region.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Parties and candidates, Ideology
The announcement by the opposition UNC that, in the event of an election victory, would build a “dome” over Trinidad to protect against illegal immigrants, made the election campaign relaxed. Before the UNC made it clear that it meant a radar screen, users of social media picked up the topic and indulged in humorous allusions to domes in films and television series.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Process
The organization of the election was subject to the state Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC). There were no election observers. Prime Minister Rowley revealed after the election that he had invited observers from CARICOM and the Commonwealth of Nations, but they were unable to pay for the 14-day quarantine required of foreign visitors.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Process
Opinion research in the run-up to the election was carried out by the North American Caribbean Teachers Association (NACTA) and the management consultancy HHB Associates, among others. A NACTA poll shortly after the election date was announced, found that, as in most previous elections, only PNM and UNC would play a role. An HHB poll published July 25 in the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian found the ruling PNM at 53% and the UNC at 44%. A NACTA poll from July 25, however, saw the UNC one percentage point ahead. At this point in time, the tendency, known from previous elections, was that Trinidadians with African roots tend to choose the PNM and Trinidadians with Indian roots rather the UNC.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Process
The resignation of former deputy PNM chairwoman Nafeesa Mohammed on July 28, who accused the PNM leadership of arrogance, ignorance and incompetence, caused a media stir. The Leader of the Opposition, former Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, was threatened with death during the election campaign. Minor parties and bodies called on the President to postpone the election in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was also rampant in Trinidad, but their requests were denied. A UNC supporter was stabbed on the sidelines of a UNC election campaign on the Saturday before the election.

UNC leader Persad-Bissessar declared wins in 19 seats, taking the Moruga/Tableland seat from the PNM and the St. Augustine seat from the COP. She disagreed with Rowley's victory declaration and objected to the long delays at polling stations.


2020 Trinidad and Tobago general election, Results
In total, six seats won by the PNM were disputed: the UNC requested recounts for five constituencies in Trinidad (San Fernando West, St Joseph, Tunapuna, Toco-Sangre Grande and La Horquetta/Talparo), while the Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) requested a recount in Tobago East. The EBC took one week to conduct the recounts, observing only minor changes from the preliminary vote counts: the largest change was an increase of 103 votes for the UNC in San Fernando West. The counts for the other districts differed by ten votes or fewer. Rowley and the new PNM cabinet were then sworn in by President Paula-Mae Weekes on the following day, August 19. The ceremony was held at President's House.

2020 Trump Tulsa rally
On June 20, 2020, Donald Trump held a rally for his 2020 presidential re-election campaign at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the event marked his first public campaign event since March 2020.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally
Critics and health officials warned that as a large public gathering in a confined indoor space, there was a high probability that new COVID-19 infections could occur at the event due to the lack of social distancing, amidst a recent spike in cases in Oklahoma; attendees were required to not hold the Trump campaign responsible for any COVID-19 exposure at the event.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally
The original scheduling of the rally on June 19 was considered insensitive due to the Black Lives Matter movement, as it is a day of celebration honoring the emancipation of African Americans, and Tulsa was the site of a race massacre in 1921. Citing these concerns, the Trump campaign later delayed the rally to June 20.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally
The rally attracted a smaller audience than projected by the Trump campaign, with an estimate of 6,200 by Tulsa's fire department—in comparison to the arena's capacity of around 19,000. An outdoor overflow stage (where Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were also to make appearances) was scrapped due to the lack of turnout. President Trump and other campaign officials alleged that disruptions by "radical" protesters and negative coverage of the rally by news outlets had deterred attendance, although the former claim was disputed by CNN reporters on-scene.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally
At least eight positive cases of COVID-19 have been reported among campaign staff who worked the rally, with six of them reported prior to the event. Following the rally, Trump faced criticism for stating in his speech that he had asked the federal government to "slow down" COVID-19 testing, in order to reduce the number of new U.S. cases.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally
Trump and his staff claimed that the remark was meant to be "tongue-in-cheek", while Trump stated in a June 22 interview that he "does not kid" and that he discussed it with officials but did not outright order the government to do so. The number of daily COVID-19 cases in Oklahoma tripled in the 30 days that followed the rally, while Republican politician Herman Cain died from complications of COVID-19 after attending it.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally, Background and preparations
On June 10, President Donald Trump announced his intent to host a rally for his 2020 re-election campaign at the BOK Center in Tulsa on June 19, in his first public campaign event since the wider activation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States in March 2020.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally, Background and preparations
Concerns were raised that as a large, public gathering held in a confined, indoor space, the rally could exacerbate spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).


2020 Trump Tulsa rally, Background and preparations
Trump stated that Oklahoma had done "a great job with COVID" (despite there having been a recent uptick in cases), while Mayor of Tulsa G. T. Bynum stated that "Tulsans have managed one of the first successful re-openings in the nation, so we can only guess that may be the reason President Trump selected Tulsa as a rally site", but added that the campaign was being encouraged to provide "enhanced hygiene considerations" to comply with state guidelines. Oklahoma has recommended avoiding crowded gatherings, but does not currently enforce limits on their size. The Washington Post cited the rally as part of a growing de-emphasis of the pandemic by the Trump administration.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally, Background and preparations
Trump's campaign director Tim Murtaugh told Fox News that there were plans for safety protocols, but that "I would point out to the national media that I don't remember them doing any social distancing shaming when they were doing all the coverage of the [George Floyd] demonstrations that were going on." Attendees were required to accept a liability waiver, agreeing to not hold the Trump campaign liable for any exposure to COVID-19 that may occur at the rally, citing it as an inherent risk in any public gathering at this time. Trump's former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci felt that the waiver was an example of "two of the great hallmarks of his presidency: Selfish and irresponsible." The campaign later announced plans to perform temperature checks, and to offer face masks and hand sanitizer to all attendees.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally, Background and preparations
Amidst increased support for the Black Lives Matter movement following the murder of George Floyd, the site and scheduling of the rally also faced criticism; Tulsa's Greenwood district was the site of a major race massacre in 1921, while the rally fell on "Juneteenth"—a holiday celebrating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Trump's history of racially-charged statements was also noted. On June 13, Trump announced that the rally would be pushed back by one day to June 20. He later attempted to take credit for having made Juneteenth "very famous", claiming that "nobody had ever heard of [it]" before. The campaign also announced plans for overflow capacity at the nearby Cox Business Convention Center.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally, Background and preparations

On June 15, Vice President Mike Pence and Governor Stitt announced that they would also attend the rally, with Stitt to introduce Trump. Pence stated that the campaign chose to host the event in Oklahoma because they had flattened the curve "in a very real sense", claiming that "their hospital capacity is abundant, [and] the number of cases in Oklahoma has declined precipitously", despite Oklahoma (and several other states where the campaign planned to hold rallies) having seen a recent spike in new cases since they began lifting restrictions and quarantine measures.

In a Q&A, Governor Stitt stated that he was exploring a switch to an outdoor venue, but that the event was currently planned to go on at BOK Center as scheduled, and that it was up to individuals (unless immunocompromised) to choose whether they want to attend because they live in a "free society", but that "we have to learn how to deal with this." Mayor Bynum stated that he would not use his emergency powers to stop the rally.

The city's health director Bruce Dart told the Tulsa World that "I think it's an honor for Tulsa to have a sitting president want to come and visit our community, but not during a pandemic. I’m concerned about our ability to protect anyone who attends a large, indoor event, and I’m also concerned about our ability to ensure the president stays safe as well."

On June 18, by request of the chief of police, a curfew was implemented around the site of BOK Center, citing that "individuals from organized groups who have been involved in destructive and violent behavior in other States are planning to travel to the City of Tulsa for purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally." The next day, Mayor Bynum announced that he had rescinded the curfew, stating that it was "no longer necessary".

A lawsuit was filed against BOK Center's management on behalf of businesses and immunocompromised plaintiffs, seeking that it enforce "government mandated social distancing protocols, including the required wearing of masks and reducing attendance so that at least six feet separates each rally-goer while in the arena." On June 19, the Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected the suit. On the day of the rally, six Trump campaign staff members working the rally were tested positive for COVID-19.

By the way, it’s a disease, without question [that] has more names than any disease in history. I can name “kung flu.” I can name 19 different versions of names. Many call it a virus, which it is. Many call it a flu. What difference? I think we have 19 or 20 different versions of the name.


2020 Trump Tulsa rally, Speech
Trump spoke for 1 hour and 41 minutes; he opened by praising the audience as "warriors" and criticized coverage of the event he perceived as negative. Trump's speech was replete with false claims, including many falsehoods he had uttered on previous occasions. Trump said that Coronavirus disease 2019 had "19 different names", including "kung flu", and that calling it COVID-19 "gets further and further away from China as opposed to calling it the Chinese virus.”

Trump praised the country's response to the pandemic, and stated that he had asked officials to "slow the testing down", so the country's case numbers would not be high. One-eighth of Trump's speech was devoted to complaining about media coverage of his appearance of the commencement ceremony at the United States Military Academy; Trump asserted that he walked down a stage ramp at West Point slowly because his leather-bottomed shoes were slippery.

Trump also repeated false claims regarding his predecessor, Barack Obama; his 2020 opponent, Joe Biden, and Democrats; falsely claimed credit for establishing the VA Choice program (which was actually established by legislation sponsored by John McCain and Bernie Sanders and signed into law by Obama); and exaggerated the scope of the coronavirus-related travel restrictions imposed by his administration.
