Trump reached out to his supporters to announce the cancellation of his rally due to dangerous weather conditions.
“There’s a severe storm approaching,” he said in a message. “We were about to land, but the authorities have advised against it because of the risks involved. The safety of everyone is our top priority, so we are asking people to leave the area and find shelter.” He assured his followers that the rally would be rescheduled as soon as possible. “I’m deeply disappointed, but keeping everyone safe is what matters most right now.”
While in North Carolina, Trump expressed regret about the worsening weather. “The situation is getting worse, and I’m truly sorry,” he said. “But don’t worry, we’ll do this again, bigger and better. I promise.”
He concluded with a heartfelt thank you to those who attended, wishing them well: “God be with you.”
In other news, recent polling indicates Trump has gained ground over President Biden in key battleground states, including Wisconsin. According to the Marquette Law School poll, Trump now holds a narrow two-point lead over Biden in Wisconsin, a crucial swing state. This marks a shift from January when the race was tied.
Wisconsin, along with other battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan, could prove pivotal in the upcoming election, as they collectively offer 93 electoral votes. While Trump leads Biden in Wisconsin, Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin remains ahead of her Republican challenger, Eric Hovde, by five points, though the race is tight among likely voters.
A CNN segment highlighted that Trump is currently leading Biden on several important issues, including the economy, immigration, and foreign policy. According to political analyst Harry Enten, Trump has a substantial lead over Biden on key concerns, while Biden’s advantage on abortion is comparatively smaller. This shift in voter sentiment could pose a challenge for the Biden campaign moving forward.
Furthermore, Trump’s growing appeal among blue-collar workers, especially in Michigan, will be closely watched as the election approaches.
