Democrats ask Trump to rethink Independence Day speech plan
WASHINGTON - Democrats in the U.S. Congress have asked President Donald Trump to reconsider plans for a speech at the Lincoln Memorial during annual Independence Day celebrations, saying it could turn a traditionally non-partisan event into a campaign rally.
Asked about the concerns expressed in the letter, a White House spokesman said plans for the holiday continued apace. The celebration"routinely brings tens of thousands of visitors to our nation's capital to join in celebration of America's founding," said the letter to Trump from House of Representatives Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and two other Democrats.
