Trump Postpones Campaign Rally in North Carolina Because of Storm
Due to an impending storm, US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump canceled his rally in North Carolina and said he would reschedule soon.
Donald Trump, a Republican presidential contender and the former president of the United States, decided to postpone a campaign rally in North Carolina on Saturday, citing weather-related safety concerns.
Via phone from his private plane, Trump apologized to his disgruntled fans for the cancelation and assured them that he would reschedule the event and soon return to the crucial battleground state.
Only thirty minutes remained before Trump was supposed to speak to the assembled audience at an outdoor rally at Wilmington Airport before the sudden cancellation.
With lightning flashing overhead, Trump was worried about the safety of thousands of fans and ordered everyone to leave right away.
“We want to keep everyone safe, but I’m devastated that this could happen,” Trump said, speaking over the loudspeakers to a disgruntled audience that had braved the heat and humidity since the early hours of the day to see him.
With a disappointed expression, Trump said, “I think we’re gonna have to just do a rain check,” on the idea of rescheduling the event. I’m really depressed.
The rally was scheduled to happen after the first week of Trump’s historic criminal trial in New York, which stemmed from a payment to a porn star. After the jury selection process was finished, Monday was supposed to be opening statement day.
With legal challenges pending in other states, including Georgia, Florida, and Washington, Trump’s case in New York is the only one that is anticipated to go to trial this year.
North Carolina is a battleground state that is very important to both the Trump and Biden campaigns because both are trying to win in November. Trump defeated Democratic opponent Joe Biden in the state by a small margin in 2020.
Notably, just last month, Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris traveled to North Carolina for campaigning.
