Just one day after a traveling print pool was put in place for Donald Trump's campaign, the campaign is leaving the press behind on its big trip to Mexico on Wednesday.
The last-minute trip to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto was announced on Tuesday. And while there is a charter plane for the press traveling with Trump, their plane was directed to Phoenix where Trump will later give an immigration speech.
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News on Wednesday morning that there will be a press availability after the meeting for questions with Mexican and American press. Some reporters could still make it to Mexico on their own, some outlets have correspondents in Mexico and local Mexican media will cover the meeting. But some Trump campaign reporters say purposely leaving behind the reporters who cover the candidate day in and day out may be on purpose.
