Trump Rally Cancelled in North Carolina
Presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has delayed his rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, scheduled for Saturday night due to the threat of adverse weather conditions.
Despite the postponement, Trump addressed his supporters over the phone shortly before the event's planned start time, expressing regret for the inconvenience and assuring them of a rescheduled event at Aero Center Wilmington in the near future.
Trump emphasized the importance of safety, stating, "We want to make sure that everybody is safe above all," and explained that authorities had advised against proceeding with the rally due to potential dangers posed by the weather.
This rally would have marked Trump's first public appearance since the commencement of one of his four ongoing legal trials in New York earlier in the week, where all 12 jurors and six alternates had been selected as of Friday.
Expressing disappointment at the situation, Trump promised to make up for the postponed rally promptly, stating, "What we'll do is we'll make up for this very quickly at another time, but we'll do it as quick as possible."
With the timing of the rescheduled event uncertain, Trump assured his supporters that it would be even more significant than originally planned.
As the former president prepares for a potential rematch against his successor, Democrat Joe Biden, in the upcoming election, this rally represents a significant opportunity to engage with supporters and bolster his campaign efforts.
