President Trump announced from the White House Thursday afternoon the RNC convention in Jacksonville has been canceled.
Citing the ongoing battle against Wuhan coronavirus, President Trump said it is his duty to protect the American people and the timing of the event isn't going to work.
The announcement comes after the Republican National Committee moved the convention from Charlotte, North Carolina to Jacksonville in June because of ongoing reopening restrictions.
This is a developing story, stay tunes for details.
Not in Duval County (Jacksonville) Most cases in Miami/Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Tampa. Predict <100/day in Duval last week in Aug. Deaths in Fl up very little compared to cases which are “up” 10x. (but are way inflated)
I agree with you.
What universe are you living in?

I’ll get flamed, but I don’t really care. The “law and order” option cancelling over security concerns is a bad look.
funny you mention auto accidents... yet no one complained about the sea belt laws except in the beginning when it was introduced.
if this virus thing continues, mask laws will be the norm, like the sea belt laws
‘The reason being that Trump’s internal polling shows that he has an insurmountable lead over Biden in Florida.’
how would you have any knowledge of anyone’s internal polling...?
do you remember what a crap show the ‘08 convention was? Remember the camera’s focusing on the nut jobs from code pink attempting to crash the stage??? the anti-war protestors in the balcony with signs??
Granted- this time around those people would be beaten- but there is too much potential for trouble.
AMEN!!!! We are with you, Mr. President!!!!
YOu did the right thing!
“The reason being that Trump’s internal polling shows that he has an insurmountable lead over Biden in Florida.:”
What a load of crap.
Another battle not worth fighting over
Another day of anguish for the MEdia as another distraction issue is trashed
Send in NATIONAL security. Fixed it.
Conventions are way overrated, IMO. I doubt they help and they have the potential to hurt a candidate.

OK, so no regular GOP convention. In the meantime, hold as many live, in-person RALLIES as possible between now and November 3rd. Hold them outside if necessary.
Geez.. Have another one in South Dakota! Doesn't matter where, really, just get as many eyes as possible watching these live rallies on TV, Internet, etc.
One of President Trump's best weapons vs. Dementia Joe are his rallies with massive numbers of supporters around him, cheering him on. They MUST go on!
Democrat plan worked. They made Florida the epicenter because he chose there. if he chooses another place it will be the next outbreak.
Yes more ammo for the mail voting push.
Give the campaign manager time ... he’ll have POTUS endorsing mail in voting ... to take away a talking point.
This new manager is a disaster and the President’s surrendered all his instincts to him.
That is an awesome answer...thank you for that. Leadership is making tough decisions and unpopular decisions and moving on to the next item.
