The Republican Party hasn’t changed plans to hold a full-scale presidential convention in August but will reassess the decision later this summer in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
As states across the country prepare plans to reopen their economies, GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told reporters Monday that party officials don’t yet believe they will have to come up with a different plan.
“We are full steam ahead planning a traditional convention,” she said. “We do not think at this time we have to switch to an alternative plan, but of course, we will monitor circumstances and adjust accordingly.”
While the chairwoman said last week that a virtual convention is "not on the table," she indicated Monday that there would be further discussion and a reassessment, if needed, sometime in late June or early July.
“We don’t build-out our convention until July. So I think we have at least until the end of June or early July to make a decision if we have to switch from a traditional convention to something scaled back,” McDaniel said. “But we will have to have an in-person convention. Those are the bylaws of the RNC, and so currently, going forward, we’re planning on a full-scale convention.”
The Republican convention is set to be held Aug. 24-27 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Apparently individual GOP campaigns are a different story.
