DT Tweeted GOP Is Pulling Convention From North Carolina
"RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — President Donald Trump said he is seeking a new state to host this summer’s Republican National Convention after North Carolina refused to guarantee the event could be held in Charlotte without restrictions because of ongoing concerns over the coronavirus.
Trump announced the news via tweet Tuesday night, complaining the state’s governor, Democrat Roy Cooper, and other officials “refuse to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena” and were not “allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised.”
“Because of @NC_Governor, we are now forced to seek another State to host the 2020 Republican National Convention,” he wrote.
Trump and the Republican National Committee had been demanding that the convention be allowed to move forward with a full crowd and no face coverings — raising alarms in a state that is facing an upward trend in its virus cases, with about 29,900 cumulative cases and 900 deaths as of Tuesday. Around 700 COVID-19 patients are currently hospitalized. Mecklenburg County, where Charlotte is located, accounted for 4,500 cases — more than double the next-highest county — and nearly 100 deaths.
“We have been committed to a safe RNC convention in North Carolina and it’s unfortunate they never agreed to scale down and make changes to keep people safe,” Cooper tweeted in response to the decision. “Protecting public health and safety during this pandemic is a priority.”"
DT pulls RNC from NC
North Carolina is a toss-up battleground State, currently polling in a virtual tie. The RNC would have almost certainly helped swing it toward Republicans in the 2020 election. NC has 15 electoral votes.

I do not think he has that power. the contracts were signed long ago. It takes a long time to research and agree on a new arena. Trump is sowing more chaos. This time in the Repub convention. Everywhere he goes, chaos follows.

Hello Nordberg,
OK, so more meaningless bluster? He is so good at that.Originally Posted by Nordberg
I doubt many contracts had contingency for COVID.
What next?
