(CNN) Two Trump campaign events scheduled to take place in Nevada this weekend were canceled, according to Adam Laxalt, a Nevada co-chair of Trump's campaign. The announcement comes after The Nevada Independent reported that the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority said that President Donald Trump 's planned campaign rally for Saturday violated the state directive limiting gatherings to 50 people and that the event "may not proceed." "This is unprecedented -- to cancel an incumbent President's campaign stop inside 60 days of a major contested election in a swing state. Joe Rajchel, a spokesperson McCarran International Airport, told CNN that the campaign event the Trump campaign was advertising at the airport was never approved, and that they had not received a formal application to host the event from the company that the Trump campaign had worked with to use a hangar on airport grounds. The Trump campaign had originally announced plans to hold two rallies in Nevada this weekend, one at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport on Saturday and the other at McCarran in Las Vegas on Sunday.
