LAS VEGAS -- President Donald Trump's plans to hold weekend rallies in Las Vegas and Reno are in jeopardy after local officials warned they would violate Nevada's ban on gatherings of more than 50 people because of the coronavirus.

Adam Laxalt, the co-chair of Trump’s campaign in Nevada, said in a Twitter post Wednesday that both events to be held at airport hangars Saturday in Reno and Sunday in Las Vegas had been canceled.

Shortly after that, the Nevada Independent reported that the Reno Tahoe Airport Authority warned a company that planned to host the campaign rally for 5,000 people at a private hangar that it would be in violation of the governor's restrictions and the terms of the company's lease for the hangar.

“You are hereby advised that you may not proceed with the proposed gathering,” the letter states.

Apparently the Las Vegas airport never even received a request to hold an event at a hangar.

Nevada events canceled, Trump campaign co-chair says
By Kate Sullivan and Ryan Nobles, CNN 1 hr ago


Two Trump campaign events scheduled to take place in Nevada this weekend were canceled, according to Adam Laxalt, a Nevada co-chair of Trump's campaign.

The announcement comes after The Nevada Independent reported that the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority said that President Donald Trump's planned campaign rally for Saturday violated the state directive limiting gatherings to 50 people and that the event "may not proceed."

"Outrageous! @realDonaldTrump rally venues in NV canceled. Welcome to (Nevada Gov. Steve) Sisolak's Nevada -- home of partisan political retribution," tweeted Laxalt, who lost the 2018 gubernatorial race to Sisolak. "This is unprecedented -- to cancel an incumbent President's campaign stop inside 60 days of a major contested election in a swing state. This isn't over!"

Joe Rajchel, a spokesperson McCarran International Airport, told CNN that the campaign event the Trump campaign was advertising at the airport was never approved, and that they had not received a formal application to host the event from the company that the Trump campaign had worked with to use a hangar on airport grounds.

7. For Trump? OH. Forget about limits. No Holds Barred!

Pack 'em in Trumpy. 20,000. Hanging from the rafters! No mask jamboree! Shouting! Doing the Hokey Pokey! Give 'em an exhilarating ho-down! Trumpy can put on a real show. Scream at one another. Lock him up!

8. How did he got away with the NC one?

Maybe there wasn't some event co. the state could crack down on?

11. Within 60 Days?

Puhleeze. So his position is that the 60-day pre-election period is off-limits for any official government action?

The media should tattoo that across his and Barr’s foreheads for the next 60 days.

And do it today because being first is essential to branding. Democrats need to brand the next 60-days as off-limits, so when Republicans violate election norms it is exposed.

The 60-days in the tweet is a shot across the bow...Biden needs to “return fire“ in a branding sense heavily directed at the source. This is branding war.
