Mr. Shapiro had been expected to headline three different events throughout the wealthy New York island towns, according to invitations seen by the Times.
But gradually, throughout Wednesday, hosts were informed that Mr. Shapiro would no longer take part, according to two people briefed on the matter.
“His schedule has changed, and he is no longer traveling to the Hamptons this weekend.”It is unclear why precisely the trip was canceled.
Michael Kempner, who was supposed to host one of the events for Mr. Shapiro’s campaign committee, said he had been told that Mr. Shapiro needed to be with his family in Pennsylvania.
Another event was a “summer soiree” expected to be held for a liberal youth-advocacy organization called The Next 50, where Mr. Shapiro was marketed as a “special guest.”
