Vice President Kamala Harris’ planned trip to Las Vegas on Saturday was canceled, according to the White House.

Harris will stay in Washington, D.C., this weekend rather than visit Nevada, which would have marked her fifth trip to the Silver State this year.

No other information about why the trip was canceled was available.

Last month, Harris came to Las Vegas to participate in a conversation about the impact of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and held a rally for reproductive rights.

She also came in March to rally supporters in North Las Vegas and in January to congratulate Culinary Local 226 on its latest labor contract deals.
