It looks like Coloradans can put away their “Make America Great Again” hats and Trump-Pence posters for the time being.

Donald Trump likely won’t be visiting Colorado this week, according to new reports from KKCO. Last week, the Grand Junction television station reported the Republican presidential nominee would be campaigning Tuesday on the Western Slope.

Mesa County officials told KKCO their communications with the Trump campaign have “gone quiet,” and they haven’t confirmed whether the candidate will be in Grand Junction.

As of Monday morning, Trump had two events scheduled for Tuesday. Both were in North Carolina.
