WASHINGTON, July 10 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump has postponed a campaign rally scheduled for New Hampshire on Saturday, the White House said on Friday, citing the looming Tropical Storm Fay.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the event would be delayed "a week or two."
It would be Trump's second campaign rally amid the coronavirus pandemic, following the June 20 Tulsa rally with around 6,200 people showing up.
