Bad news for Trump! Hurricane Milton forced the former president to cancel two meetings with Hispanics

• Hurricane Milton Forces Donald Trump to Cancel Events
• Two of the Events Were Directed Toward Hispanics
• Will They Be Rescheduled?

The forum «Los Latinos Preguntan… Donald Trump Responde,» organized by Univision and scheduled for Tuesday, October 8, has been postponed.

This decision came as Hurricane Milton is expected to hit Florida’s peninsula on Wednesday, Univision announced on Monday.

The event, where former President Donald Trump (2017-2021) was set to answer questions and which was to be broadcast on Tuesday night, has now been rescheduled for Wednesday, October 17.

Last month, Univision announced forums featuring each candidate running for the White House.

The threat from Hurricane Milton, the second hurricane to hit Florida in less than 15 days, also forced the Republican campaign to cancel a Latino roundtable scheduled for Tuesday morning.

What Did the Republicans Say?

“Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the path of Hurricane Milton.»

«And we are postponing the Latino Summit while communities prepare for the storm,” said Danielle Alvarez, senior advisor for Trump’s campaign, in a statement.

The Latino roundtable with Hispanic leaders is also expected to be rescheduled.

Milton, a hurricane that has rapidly strengthened, is now a Category 5 storm, the highest rating on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
