ATLANTA - The National Rifle Association has announced the cancelation of an event next week featuring former President Donald Trump, according to the Savannah Morning News.
The event was scheduled for Tuesday in Savannah, but the NRA cited a "campaign scheduling conflict" as the reason for the cancelation.
Trump’s website shows that he is still planning to attend a Turning Point PAC/Turning Point Action rally in Duluth on Wednesday. Before that, he will appear at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 19.
