Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump canceled a campaign rally - the first since the start of his criminal trial in New York - due to bad weather, AFP reported.
"We want to make sure everybody is safe first and foremost, and that's why we've been asked to ask people to leave the place and seek shelter," Trump said in a phone call broadcast to the outdoor venue, where many of his supporters had gathered under dark clouds. .
"It looks like there's thunder and lightning and it's a pretty big storm... I'm so sad," the former president added. /BGNES
