The president was joined Thursday evening by his wife, Melania Trump.

The president’s campaign said in a statement that the outdoor rally has been postponed until Monday because of a wind advisory that has gusts reaching 50 mph and severe weather. More than 459,000 residents lost power as the storm swept across the state.
