President Donald Trump said he is moving the Republican National Convention from Charlotte, hours after N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper said he couldn’t guarantee that the August event would be at full capacity due to the coronavirus.
In a tweet Tuesday night, Trump said: “Had long planned to have the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, a place I love. Now, @NC_Governor Roy Cooper and his representatives refuse to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena - Spend millions of dollars, have everybody arrive, and then tell them they will not be able to gain entry.
“Governor Cooper is still in Shelter-In-Place Mode, and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised. Would have showcased beautiful North Carolina to the World, and brought in hundreds of ..millions of dollars, and jobs, for the State.

Great news.
Couldn’t be happier SCREW NC!!!
Actually a long overdue move.
Good! DeSantis already offered Florida. Would be a good move.
Except in the general election.
YES!!!!
Make sure it’s in a city where the mayor on down brook no rioting. In a state with a governor acts the same.
Do it in a blue state, say San Francisco. If the state and city decline, it will be a decision they will regret. All that revenue declined in the midst of a 54 billion shortfall, and they decline this infusion of revenue to the city? If they accept, who will cover it without exposing the poop, homeless tents, trash and syringes everywhere? Just a thought.
Democrats are probably happy about this move. They’re probably secretly happy to be rid of Trump and the Republicans.
exactly. Pretty sure we need NC
Good and I live in NC.
Georgia is looking nice.
San Diego open for business
Millions have already been spent securing the facility.
Maybe the RNC can get most of it back. It will be worth moving on. This kind of Mayor (NC) may do something to sabotage our convention.
He is a dim.
Q.E.D.
>>N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper said he couldn’t guarantee that the August event would be at full capacity due to the coronavirus. I
Notify the FEC that the governor of NC is trying to disenfranchise Republicans.
Helen Keller could see and hear this one coming!
President Trump isn’t going take shit from anyone anymore! Screw the Leftist Rebels and screw the Demon-crat Governor of North Carolina.
In less than two weeks, Garth Brooks in having a sold out concert in Charlotte. No social distancing in that one.
