Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett is attempting to revive the Great American State Fair after a significant number of artists withdrew from the event due to its association with former President Donald Trump. In a video posted on social media, Burchett suggested that musician John Rich could lead the event and called for other MAGA-affiliated artists to participate. He criticized the artists who canceled, labeling them as 'pathetic.' Burchett also mentioned Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood as potential performers. The event, scheduled to take place on the National Mall from June 25 to July 10, has seen more than half of its announced acts drop out, including notable performers like Martina McBride and Young MC, who cited political concerns as their reason for withdrawal. Despite the cancellations, Vanilla Ice's drummer indicated that he still plans to perform.
