CAPE GIRAREAU, Mo. — Pres. Trump's campaign has canceled a Make America Great Again rally in Cape Girardeau because of Hurricane Florence.
Those with tickets to Thursday's event received an email Tuesday morning saying the event had been canceled.
"Regrettably, we must cancel the planned Make America Great Again rally in Cape Girardeau, Missouri this Thursday,” said Michael Glassner, Chief Operating Officer of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. “With Hurricane Florence on its way, we determined that this is the safest decision."
The president was expected to visit Southeast Missouri on Sept. 13 to rally supporters and urge them to replace Sen. Claire McCaskill with Republican Josh Hawley, the state attorney general who has the president's endorsement.
