   'We Killed Herman Cain': New Book Paints Damning Portrait of How   
   Trump's Team Bungled Tulsa Rally   
      
   Trump's Hail Mary rally in Oklahoma was an even bigger disaster than   
   first reported   
      
      
   "We're back, baby," Donald Trump told Chris Christie.   
      
   It was a few days before Trump's summer 2020 campaign rally in Tulsa,   
   Okla., and the president was excited, thinking this rally was going to   
   be a packed, raucous affair that injected new energy into his troubled   
   reelection run.   
      
   But it turns out that holding a raucous indoor rally during a global   
   pandemic isn't exactly the best of ideas, and instead of a rager,   
   Trump got a disaster. The rally hall was full of empty seats, and a   
   rash of campaign staffers and Secret Service agents tested positive   
   for Covid before the event even began. The rally is also likely where   
   Herman Cain, a Trump surrogate and former GOP presidential hopeful,   
   contracted a case of Covid that would result in his death.   
      
   The account of Trump's rally comes from Jonathan Karl's new book,   
   Betrayal, that chronicles the final days of the Trump administration   
   and reveals new facts about the rally in an excerpt published Thursday   
   by Vanity Fair.
