Come hell or high water, the Republicans want a large gathering. |
They only care about winning this election no matter how bad the circumstances are.
The city of 914,000 residents is now going to be the place where Republicans will hold their convention. With the rising infections in country, Trump vows to not shut down anything.
RNC chief Ronna McDaniel is a dumb piece of work. |
Jacksonville will host what the Republicans are calling a "celebration" of Trump's re-nomination.
"Not only does Florida hold a special place in President Trump's heart as his home state, but it is crucial in the path to victory in 2020. We look forward to bringing this great celebration and economic boon to the Sunshine State in just a few short months," McDaniel said in a news release.
With over 2,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Florida, the state is 80% open for business.
Charlotte was going to be the place where RNC was going to hold their convention. But a feud with North Carolina's Gov. Roy Cooper has Trump demanding a new venue. So McDaniel, the RNC chairwoman decided to pull out of Charlotte.
Cooper said that he wants the folks attending to be safe and he said that the coronavirus rates increased. He said that large gatherings like the convention could put thousands at risk of infection.
Trump ignores his own advice on how to prevent the coronavirus spreading.
The convention was once expected to span four days in Charlotte — bringing in 50,000 people and pumping more than $150 million into the local economy.
Florida's largest city is the least popular tourist destination. |
The events will take place at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, the RNC news release said.
Cooper's office had asked RNC officials for detailed plans on how they would deal with concerns over COVID-19. They say they’ve yet to receive them. The state is now in Phase Two of a gradual reopening.
With that being said, Trump is going to head to Tulsa, Oklahoma for his first campaign since the coronavirus pandemic. The Oklahoma Republican Party and Donald J. Trump Presidential Campaign have said that those attending must pledge to not sue if they get catch the coronavirus.
Trump hosts a forum in Dallas, Texas without the police chief, county sheriff and prosecutor. |
In the disclaimer, anyone RSVPing the event must acknowledge that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. By attending the rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.
What a guy!
You're willing to put your life at risk for the benefit of seeing the most unpopular American president in modern history.
Again, Trump can win. He has a 48.5% chance of winning reelection. His odds are still more favorable than Joe Biden.
Biden has a 46.4% chance of winning the election.
