总统唐纳德·特朗普原定于周六晚上在新罕布什尔州举行的集会已经被推迟，他的竞选团队以担心热带风暴“费伊”及其向该国东北部移动为由。
特朗普2020通信总监蒂姆·默陶格(Tim Murtaugh)在一份声明中表示，“原定于周六在新罕布什尔州朴茨茅斯市举行的集会因热带风暴“费伊”而出于安全原因被推迟。它将被重新安排，新的日期将很快宣布。”
总统亲自走上他最喜欢的讲台，回应他的传播主任的声明。
随着热带风暴“费伊”本周末向伟大的新罕布什尔州进发，我们被迫重新安排在皮斯的朴茨茅斯国际机场举行的新罕布什尔州朴茨茅斯拉力赛。注意安全，我们很快就到了！#杂志2020

人们越来越担心塔尔萨的集会导致冠状病毒病例激增。塔尔萨市县卫生局局长布鲁斯·达特博士在周三的新闻发布会上说，“在过去的几天里，我们已经看到了近500个新病例，而就在两周前，我们还发生了几起大事件，所以我想我们只是把事情联系起来了。”
这一取消紧随塔尔萨的同一场集会之后，那里的投票率完全低于预期。在博克中心，一个可容纳近20，000人的竞技场，场地还不到三分之一。
Murtaugh告诉美国广播公司新闻，少于预期的投票率是由抗议者和媒体造成的，然而，很少有报道称竞技场外发生了大规模抗议。
特朗普竞选团队的官员吹捧观众人数，而不是出席人数。
Murtaugh在一份声明中说，“特朗普总统在塔尔萨的集会吸引了400多万来自所有竞选数字媒体渠道的独特观众。现场直播的集会前表演吸引了超过250万的观众。这些数字甚至不包括电视观众。”
截至目前，特朗普竞选团队还没有计划再次举行集会。
Trump's New Hampshire rally postponed due to weather concerns
President Donald Trump’s rally scheduled for Saturday night in New Hampshire has been postponed and his campaign is citing concerns over Tropical Storm Fay and its path towards the northeast part of the country.
In a statement Trump 2020 communications director Tim Murtaugh said,“The rally scheduled for Saturday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire has been postponed for safety reasons because of Tropical Storm Fay. It will be rescheduled and a new date will be announced soon.”
The president himself took to his favorite platform to echo that statement from his communications director.
With Tropical Storm Fay heading towards the Great State of New Hampshire this weekend, we are forced to reschedule our Portsmouth, New Hampshire Rally at the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease. Stay safe, we will be there soon! #MAGA2020

There were growing concerns that the rally in Tulsa contributed to a surge in coronavirus cases. Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Dr. Bruce Dart said at a press conference on Wednesday that "In the past few days, we've seen almost 500 new cases, and we had several large events just over two weeks ago, so I guess we just connect the dots.”
This cancelation comes on the heels of that same rally in Tulsa, where turnout expectations fell completely short. At the BOK Center, an arena that seats close to 20,000, the venue was less than a third full.
Murtaugh told ABC News the smaller-than-expected turnout was caused by protesters and the media, however, there have been few reports of massive protests outside the arena.
Trump campaign officials touted viewership numbers rather than attendance figures.
Murtaugh said in a statement that “President Trump’s rally in Tulsa attracted over 4 million unique viewers across all of the campaign’s digital media channels. The live-streamed pre-rally shows drew an audience of more than 2.5 million unique viewers by themselves. These numbers don’t even include television viewers.”
As of right now there are currently no scheduled plans for another rally for the Trump Campaign.
