White House Military Office Coast Guard aide Lt. Cdr. Jayna McCarron is on “Football“ duty for President Biden's trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma. The ~45-lb. briefcase follows Biden 24/7, enabling him to authorize the use of any of our 3,800 stockpiled nuclear weapons at any time. 
The last time Lt. Cdr. McCarron was in Tulsa was on June 20, 2020, for Trump's disastrous and ill-advised superspreader campaign rally—his first public campaign event since March 2020.

Vice President Pence and his backup Briefcase of Doom™ were there, too.

Six advance campaign staff tested positive for COVID-19 before that indoor rally. Afterward, two additional staff, two Secret Service officers, a journalist, and Herman Cain all tested positive (Cain died from COVID-19 complications on July 30).

Donald Trump, Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle, who were also there that day, subsequently tested positive on July 3. In the 30 days following the rally—which left Trump furious because of low attendance—Oklahoma's rate of new COVID-19 cases soared to 513 per day, more than tripling.
After landing in Tulsa, Lt. Cdr. McCarron deplaned Air Force One via the rear stairway and handed off the “Football” to her Navy counterpart (bottom right). After an animated 3-minute chat, he suddenly noticed Biden deplaning and grabbed the “Football” to hustle to the motorcade.
