Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton have postponed scheduled visits to Charlotte after a televised plea from Mayor Jennifer Roberts and, in the case of Trump, a request from Gov. Pat McCrory.
Clinton had announced a Sunday morning visit, likely to an African American church, after her campaign conferred earlier Friday with city officials.
And Trump had earlier announced a Tuesday appearance, which would have been his first following Monday’s first presidential debate.
Both visits could have come during the state of emergency that has followed Tuesday’s police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott and the violent protests that followed.
