Donald Trump is actively on his reelection campaign trail in the midst of tackling the coronavirus crisis. Recently, he announced that he will be visiting the state of Tennessee on Friday after a storm disrupted the Super Tuesday voting.
Politico reports that at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference in Washington, Trump began his speech before the attendees by taking a moment to send the residents of Tennessee his well-wishes. The central parts of the state including the capital Nashville were terrorized by a tornado that killed at least 24 people and cut off the power of thousands. Some of the places in which the power was cut off included voting stations, disrupting the process.
“We are working with the leaders in Tennessee including their great Governor Bill Lee to make sure everything is done properly,” said Trump. The president added that he will be visiting the state Friday following FEMA, which had already arrived. Lee had previously revealed that more casualties may be expected due to the damage of the storm.
Trump has visited areas that were affected by natural calamities all throughout his presidency. One such trip was in Alabama, where tornadoes killed over a dozen people. Trump visited the state and paid his respects at the memorial. “Our hearts are full of sorrow for the lives that were lost. It’s a vicious thing, those tornadoes - I’ve seen many of them during a three-year period,” said Trump, referencing his visit to Alabama.
During this time, a new report reveals that the state of New York will not be holding a Republican primary this year. This was done due to Trump being the only name who qualified to appear in the ballot as primaries are only held when multiple candidates qualify to appear. Trump continues to sweep Republican primaries, effectively eliminating fellow Republican hopefuls William Weld, Rocky de la Fuente, and Joe Walsh.
As De La Fuente and Walsh were not able to submit names of their required list of delegates, they were dropped. Weld, on the other hand, submitted only a partial list but failed to make the deadline, thus making Trump the only Republican to appear on the ballot.
