Demonstrators joined 'No Kings' rallies in locations across the United States on Saturday, urging people to vote early ahead of November's midterm elections. Participants voiced opposition to the Trump administration. The rallies come amid heightened legal disputes over voting rules, including a recently filed federal lawsuit against California over mail-in ballots and warnings from the justice department. Video of the rallies has been published. The available reports give no attendance figures or full list of locations.
Right-leaning coverage, from Breitbart, describes the groups as leftist and centers on their early-voting message, presenting the rallies through video without mentioning the administration or the legal disputes. Left-leaning coverage, from The Guardian US, also uses video but leads with opposition to the Trump administration and places the rallies in the context of the California lawsuit and justice department warnings. Both agree the rallies took place nationwide and promoted early voting. Alternative / independent outlets had not reported the story at the time of writing, while left-leaning and right-leaning outlets had, focusing on the early-voting push and the rallies themselves.
