Former President Donald Trump was forced to cancel his Wilmington, North Carolina, rally, sending his supporters home with a blessing.

Trump called in to inform his followers of the news.
“As you can see there’s some very bad weather heading in,” Trump said. “We’re flying in in a few minutes, but they really would prefer that we not come in because there’s a certain danger to all of this, and we want to make sure everybody is safe, above all. And so they’ve asked us to ask people to leave the site and seek shelter.”

“And what we’ll do is we’ll make up for this very quickly at another time. We’ll do it as quick as possible. I’m devastated that this could happen, but we want to keep everybody safe. That’s the most important thing,” Trump continued. “So if you don’t mind, I think we’re going to have to just do a rain check.”

“I’m so sad. I’m in North Carolina right now and waiting to go in, but they’re saying the weather is really getting bad. Really, really getting bad. I’m so sorry,” Trump said, according to the Wilmington Star News. “But we’ll do it again, and we’ll do it bigger and better. You have my promise.”

Trump closed by thanking those who had come out, saying, “God be with you.”

A new survey has found that Trump has managed to outpoll President Joe Biden in a state critical to both of their campaigns.

According to the Marquette Law School poll, Trump holds a two-point lead over the Democratic incumbent among registered voters in Wisconsin, with 51 percent supporting Trump and 49 percent supporting Biden.

This marks a gain for Trump since January when both candidates were tied at 49 percent.

“Wisconsin is one of seven crucial swing states in the 2024 presidential election and is worth 10 electoral votes. The other six swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, which total 93 electoral votes along with Wisconsin,” The Daily Wire reported.

In the same poll, while Trump leads Biden in the Midwestern state, Democratic incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin holds a five-point lead over Republican challenger Eric Hovde among registered voters, with Baldwin at 52 percent and Hovde at 47 percent. However, among likely voters, the two Senate candidates are tied.
