Former President Donald Trump won’t be coming to Greenwood for Friday night’s Save America Rally due to weather concerns. Trump issued a statement Friday afternoon.
“Thank you to all who waited in line for our Save America Rally tonight in Greenwood, Nebraska. Because of severe weather, including the possibility of 60 mph+ wind, hailstorms, and maybe even tornadoes, I will not be coming to Nebraska tonight, but rather, weather permitting, will be there this Sunday night, May 1st. The most important thing is to keep you safe, and that cannot be done with such a terrible forecast. Thank you to Charles W. Herbster and his wonderful staff for working so professionally with us. See you on Sunday.”
News of the postponement came as the gates to the I-80 Speedway opened to supporters at 3:00 Friday afternoon. Some arrived at 8:00 Friday morning when the parking lots opened.
