Former President Donald Trump canceled three out of his four Iowa rallies he was going to hold due to bad weather, but will hold tele-rallies instead.

These cancellations occurred just days before the Iowa caucuses that begin Jan. 15.

Both Saturday rallies that were supposed to be held in Sioux City and Atlantic were canceled, but Trump will host a tele-rally with Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird in the evening, according to CNN.

He also had to cancel his rally in Cherokee, but will hold another tele-rally with Iowa state Rep. Bobby Kaufmann.

The winter storm in Iowa is expected to bring six to ten inches of snow to the state over the weekend. 

“I’ll get to see you on Sunday and Monday and maybe Saturday night late," Trump said in a video message posted to X. "It’s going to be a little bit of a trek, nobody knows how exactly we’re going to get there, but we’re going to figure it out. And we wouldn’t miss it for anything."

Local media reports that Jan. 15 will be the coldest day for caucuses in recent history with an expected high of -2 degrees.

As of now, Trump is still going to have one in-person rally on Sunday in Indianola.
