He knows he's losing

President Trump has reportedly called off plans to host an election night event at Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., a person familiar with the plans told The New York Times.

The source told the Times that Trump will instead likely remain at the White House on Nov. 3.

This comes after the Trump campaign last weekend sent fundraiser emails to donors announcing a drawing that would give one winner, along with a guest, the chance to be flown to the nation’s capital, where they would stay for free and attend the Nov. 3 party at Trump International as VIPs.

At a press conference Monday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) said she was not aware at the time of party preparations at Trump International, which Washingtonian reported is sold out for election night.

D.C.’s coronavirus regulations currently restrict events to a maximum capacity of 50 people, including all attendees and staff.

  The Hill
He also just cancelled a rally in North Carlina because of "high speed winds" and "bad weather". Moved to Monday. We'll see what happens on Monday.
Weather.com’s hourly forecast shows a lovely evening in Fayetteville, with a high in the mid to upper 70s and winds only 15 mph. The winds Monday will be just as bad and the weather will be much cooler.

  Raw Story
And the polls have the race at neck-and-neck. 

Analysts have been saying his rallies are bringing down his approval ratings.    Maybe he figures he's going to go with court challenges to win anyway, so why bother.  

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
