Trump Backs Out of NRA Event Amid Slew of Cancellations

The NRA event cancellation comes the same day that it was reported that Trump backed out of a sit-down interview with NBC News.

Donald Trump’s event cancellation streak continues. The former president is ducking out of the National Rifle Association’s “Defend the 2nd” event in Savannah, Georgia. The organization cited “campaign scheduling” issues as the reason for canceling its Oct. 22 event. “The NRA is committed to ensuring Donald Trump wins in November and returns to the White House,” a statement by the organization read. “NRA-PVF just launched statewide radio ads in the battleground states of Pennsylvania and Georgia to complement a comprehensive GOTV operation and multi-million-dollar digital outreach strategy to defeat Kamala Harris.” Trump was scheduled to deliver the “Defend the 2nd” keynote speech. According to his campaign website, however, the former president will still appear in Georgia on Oct. 23, for a Turning Point Action rally. The NRA event cancellation comes the same day that it was reported that Trump backed out of a sit-down interview with NBC News. He previously nixed an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, scheduled for Friday, and a spot on CBS News’ 60 Minutes.
