Trump says GOP 'forced' to seek another state to host convention, slams North Carolina governor
President Trump announced late Tuesday that Republicans are "forced" to seek another state to host their convention, saying North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper was "still in Shelter-In-Place Mode" and had "refused to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena" in Charlotte, despite earlier assurances.
President Trump announced late Tuesday that Republicans are "forced" to seek another state to host their convention, saying North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper was "still in Shelter-In-Place Mode" and had "refused to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena" in Charlotte, despite earlier assurances.
The president didn't name an alternative venue. Earlier in the day, GOP officials said they had started visiting potential alternative sites after Cooper, a Democrat, told them the coronavirus pandemic required them to prepare for a scaled-back event if they wanted to hold it in Charlotte.
Charlotte officials, meanwhile, said they had heard nothing about the relocation plan and intended to be in contact with the Republican National Committee regarding the city’s contract for hosting the convention. Click here for more.
