California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently released an order banning non-essential businesses and large gatherings to control the increasing number of COVID-19 infections across the state.

This order has also affected the traditional Rose Parade.

Californians across the state gather to show their support to Pres. Donald Trump during the traditional Rose Parade that state Gov. Gavin Newsom canceled for the meantime due to the threat of COVID-19. Instead, they dubbed the event as 'Patriots Rose Parade'.

According to OANN, thousands of vehicles in support of the President came together in California for the traditional parade.

Keith Birmingham wrote on Twitter: "Trump supporters prepare to caravan along Colorado Blvd and the Parade route called the Patriots Rose parade outside of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena."

Trump supporters drove the path on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena while chanting "Trump 2020" while many of them were holding American flags.

Californians across the state who participated in the event firmly believed that Trump won the recent election. 

Additionally, members of the congregation expressed their die-hard support for the President and desire to see the election results overturned.

Most especially that a group of Republican lawmakers led by Sen. Ted Cruz is about to object next week the certification of the Presidential election results.

Californians Show Support to Pres. Trump

One of the supporters of Pres. Trump who joined the parade said, "This is like a freedom, this is opening up our country, celebrating our country, our freedoms and hopefully the truth of the election."

They are hoping that the votes will be validated through an audit committee. 

The report also said that the 'Patriots Rose Parade' was organized by Trump Unity Bridge who was also in protest of Gov. Gavin Newsom's stringent lockdown orders that negatively impacted small business owners.

Even though the state governor has already said that they will receive financial assistance, they described Newsom's order as illegal. 

Moreover, some of those who joined the caravan echoed and said that the governor's order was illegal.

They pointed out that Newsom's hypocritical antics and the blatant examples showing his disregard for his own rules. The report also confirmed that participants of the parade came across the state. 

The Rose Bowl was recently moved to Texas instead of having the event in California. This is because of Newsom's order that restricts social gatherings. The 'Rose Parade' could have generated $200 million that could help small businesses.

The said amount is almost enough for the Pasadena community, crucial funds that businesses struggling during the pandemic reportedly desperately need.

Most of those who attended the 'Patriots Rose Parade' is GOP supporters and the event came as a new measure to recall Gov. Newsom's order gained support. As of this week, the petition has already reached nearly one million.
