President Donald Trump’s campaign abruptly canceled plans to hold a rally in Alabama after state officials warned that the rally would accelerate the spread of COVID-19, CNN reports.
According to the news network, the campaign had been planning to have the president campaign in Alabama with GOP Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville, whom the president endorsed earlier this year in a major snub to former Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who is also running for the Senate seat.
The decision will likely be a welcome relief for Sessions, as the rally was slated to be held in his hometown.
The cancellation comes as Trump has continued to complain about the low turnout during his first return to the campaign trail in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when he addressed an arena filled with empty seats.
