Trump cancels campaign rally in North Carolina due to stormy weather
Former President Donald Trump canceled his North Carolina rally Saturday evening at the last minute, citing stormy weather as the cause.
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Former President Donald Trump canceled his North Carolina rally Saturday evening at the last minute, citing stormy weather as the cause.
Trump, who had not yet arrived to the event, called by phone to announce that the event was off as thunder and rain began to darken the outdoor rally.
"There seems to be some thunder and lightning. It’s a pretty big storm, so if you don’t mind, I think we’re going to have to just do a rain check," Trump said over the speaker system.
Following Trump's announcement, loud groans and shouts of disappointment were heard from the crowd before their swift departure.
It was set to be Trump's first rally since the start of his criminal trial in Manhattan.
