Trump Cancels First Rally Since New York Trial Due To Weather

Donald Trump called off his planned rally in Wilmington, NC, just hours before it was set to begin. This was his first scheduled public appearance since the start of his criminal hush money trial in New York. Trump made the announcement during a call to the event site and cited safety concerns as the reason for cancellation. He expressed regret for inconveniencing the supporters who had gathered at the venue. The rally was supposed to take place prior to the opening statements in Trump's trial.
