TROPICAL STORM FORCES TRUMP TO CANCEL RALLY

Amid uncertainty over whether he can still draw big crowds to his signature rallies in the coronavirus era, President Donald Trump postponed a planned Saturday rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, citing Tropical Storm Fay, expected to hit a swath of the Eastern United States. The latest setback came as the Trump campaign casts about for ways to reverse its recent downward slide in the polls at a time when the president is facing criticism over his handling of the pandemic and his harsh stance against those protesting racial injustice. —AP
