Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is canceling a Friday night visit to Nevada after President Donald Trump agreed to a deal today to reopen the government for three weeks.

Warren instead planned to remain in Washington, D.C. as Congress was expected to vote on the plan.

She was expected to be the third potential Democratic 2020 candidate to hold public events in early-state Nevada this year.

Warren was scheduled hold an event at 7 p.m. tonight at the Springs Preserve gardens, museum and events center in Las Vegas.

Former Obama housing chief Julian Castro, who has jumped in the race, visited Las Vegas earlier this month. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who says he's weighing a bid, met with Nevada progressives and Democrats two weeks ago.

Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is also eyeing a potential White House run, says he plans to visit Nevada in the coming weeks.
