Des Moines, Iowa — Weather continues to impact the schedule of presidential candidates heading into the Iowa caucuses as former President Donald Trump has now canceled three out of his four in-person commit to caucus rallies, including one scheduled for this (Saturday) afternoon, in Atlantic.

Instead, Trump will hold a series of telerallies and is still expected to go forward with his in-person appearance at his commit to caucus rally in Indianola. Trump canceled both rallies he was scheduled to hold today in Sioux City and Atlantic and is now holding a tele-rally featuring Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird this evening at 7-p.m.

Trump was in Iowa on Wednesday for a Fox News town hall, but his last campaign event was on Jan. 6, where he delivered remarks in Newton and Clinton. The four-stop Iowa swing this weekend would have served as the final boost for Trump in the final days of Iowa caucuses, during an election cycle when the former president has had a lighter campaign schedule compared to some of his GOP rivals.
