The three-hour parade will be aired at its regular scheduled time on Nov. 26 at 9 a.m. E.T. on NBC.

Trump rally in Nevada sparks controversy

Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak criticized President Donald Trump for holding an indoor rally Sunday that disregarded state health and safety guidelines, according to NBC News.

Despite having preventive measures like hand sanitizers and temperature checks at the entrance, the majority of the people at the rally were not wearing a face covering or social distancing.

“As usual, he doesn’t believe the rules apply to him,” said Sisolak. In response, Trump justified his decision by claiming that Sisolak had made it “impossible” for him to hold his rally outdoors.

Nevada policy prohibits gatherings of more than 50 people.
