Donald Trump pulled out of another mainstream interview Thursday–this time nixing a sit-down with NBC News.

The interview, CNN reported, would be in Philadelphia with NBC News' senior business correspondent, Christine Romans.

It was the second time in a week that he had canceled a scheduled appearance outside the conservative news sphere, CNN’s Reliable Sources reported Thursday.

The Trump campaign did not specifically address the reasons for the cancellations in response to a request for comment.

The NRA announced that Trump had backed out of its planned event next week in Savannah, citing a “campaign scheduling conflict.”.
