President Donald Trump said he is moving the Republican National Convention from Charlotte, hours after N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper said he couldnt 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.

You have a lot of useful knowledge on this process.
More than the average News Hound like me.
Have you been a delegate before, perhaps?
Jacksonville Florida will be the city that holds the 2020 convention.
Ya wanna bet!
And Trump in the Hall of Presidents!
[Trump usually has a plan already all laid out.]
lol...you..me and Ray Charles too.....I remember saying when Trump "chummed" the Governor with a Tweet......Hello Florida!
Typical Democrat politics. Decisions made for the good of the Party before the good of the people.
Throw a curve ball....
Have it someplace that the left will have trouble infiltrating, with a large convention center, like Sarasota, or Traverse City, or Erie.
Do the Convention in Florida!
Yes he should do it in GA. We are sadly becoming a swing state.
Unfortunately the Garth Brooks concert has been postponed to October 10th.
Thanks. Checked the news before I posted and saw nothing on that.
WooHoo!

To be honest, he should try to locate it in a swing state. FL is not a swing state.
Could be a good spot.
I said in another thread I don’t think South Dakota has a large enough venue.
The only drawback with having the Convention in Florida is that we are apparently in store for an elevated hurricane season.
IIRC, the 2012 gathering in Tampa was disrupted and even was abbreviated by one day,
To be fair Charlotte is a long way away from his bunker.
