Trump Cancels Campaign Events In Colorado, Wisconsin & Nevada As Coronavirus Crisis Deepens

President Donald Trump called off campaign events in Colorado, Wisconsin and Nevada, late Wednesday, as the coronavirus crisis continued to worsen across the United States. There are now over 1030 confirmed cases in at least 36 states, according to data from John Hopkins University.

Trump was lined up to leave Thursday for the campaign events in the 2020 general election battleground states. Trump made the announcement Wednesday after his prime time Oval Office speech, in which he declared that the U.S. would bar travel from Europe for the next 30 days.
