Trump says cancelled Arizona event moving to larger venue

Donald Trump's campaign has cancelled a planned speech in Arizona that was previously expected to clarify his immigration policies, according to reports.

Trump said in a tweet that he would still be in Phoenix next Wednesday but is looking for a larger venue.

"Will be in Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday. Changing venue to much larger one. Demand is unreal. Polls looking great!" he wrote Friday evening.

Trump's Arizona state chair said shortly before that the Phoenix appearance was postponed.

“We have postponed next Wednesday’s visit, but we look forward to having another Arizona event scheduled soon," Brian Seitchik said, according to the Arizona Republic.

Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, had planned on holding the rally Aug. 31 at the Hyatt Regency in Phoenix, with 500 tickets available.

Trump aides told the Arizona Republic on Wednesday that his speech would outline his immigration policy, but quickly backtracked and said he may address the issue but would focus on party unity.

Previously Trump had planned to give an immigration speech this past Thursday in Colorado, but it was postponed, and rallies in Las Vegas and Portland, Ore., were also cancelled.

Trump’s team said changes to all three events stem from the businessman’s visit to Louisiana after it was struck with intense flooding earlier this month.

Trump has been fielding an onslaught of questions over the past week about his stance on immigration after he seemed to step back from his previous call for a swift deportation of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
