President Donald Trump’s scheduled Oct. 31 rally in Salina, Kansas, was canceled without any explanation, cutting short what would have been his second planned visit to the state this month.
President Donald Trump’s planned rally at the Salina Regional Airport on Saturday, Oct. 31, has been canceled, the airport authority confirmed to KMBC 9 News on Thursday. > "The Trump Administration has canceled all Kansas events for Saturday," a spokesperson for the Salina Regional Airport Authority said. No reason for the cancellation was provided.
The event would have been the president’s second trip to Kansas in less than two weeks, following a rally in the Wichita area on Oct. 19 that was used to bolster Republican Sen. Roger Marshall’s campaign for the U.S. Senate. Marshall is currently facing a competitive race against Democrat Adam Hamilton, drawing national attention to a state that is usually treated as safely Republican, but is now showing real political strain.
