WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Donald Trump has canceled his first planned rally since the start of his criminal hush money trial because of a storm in North Carolina. It’s an added complication for the former president and presumptive Republican nominee as he juggles legal troubles and his rematch against President Joe Biden. Trump called into the rally on Saturday near the Wilmington airport less than an hour before he was scheduled to take the stage and apologized to a few thousand supporters who had gathered throughout the afternoon. Trump promised to reschedule a rally at the same location, with a “bigger and better” event. The venue still highlights the importance of North Carolina as a key battleground between Trump and Biden.
