Utah town halls with potential presidential candidate Howard Schultz have been postponed, a member of Schultz’ campaign confirmed Monday.
Schultz, the former Starbucks CEO exploring an independent run for the U.S. presidency, announced last week that he would be making stops in Davis, Salt Lake, Summit and Utah counties as part of his “Heart of America” tour.
The visit is expected to be rescheduled, but new dates and event details were not yet available.
