The Republican Convention begins amid unrest, hurricanes, wildfires and a continuing pandemic. |
The convention was originally scheduled to be held at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, but on June 2, 2020, Trump and the Republican National Committee pulled the event from Charlotte after the North Carolina state government declined to agree to Trump's demands to allow the convention to take place with a full crowd and without public health measures designed to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as social distancing and face coverings.
Trump then announced that the convention would be moved to Jacksonville, Florida, but subsequently cancelled the Jacksonville convention plans on July 23. Some convention proceedings, albeit dramatically reduced in scale, are still scheduled to be held in Charlotte, such as "small, formal business meetings."
Trump goes into the convention with chaos in the winds. |
The party then plans to hold the events and festivities, including Trump's keynote speech, remotely from various location. By tradition, because Republicans currently hold the presidency, their convention will be held after the 2020 Democratic National Convention, which was held from August 17–20. Former White House director of management and administration Marcia Lee Kelly was named convention president and CEO in April 2019.
Trump faced only token opposition in the Republican primaries and caucuses, and clinched the Republican nomination in March 2020, when he reached 1,276 pledged delegates.
Trump had previously announced that Pence would remain as his vice-presidential running mate in his re-election bid.
Of course, the Republicans are going into the convention with turmoils. They have ZOOM outage in the world, so some of the convention might not be able to do a livestream of their event.
The McCloskeys are going to make an appearance at the RNC. |
There are wildfires in California, Colorado and Oregon. The wildfires has killed 50 Americans and has destroyed acres of land.
We have unrest in the United States. The recent shootings in Lafayette, Louisiana and Kenosha, Wisconsin have sparked more unrest in communities. Since George Floyd tragedy, people of color have demanded police reform and Republicans are turning a blind eye to it.
The coronavirus has infected over 7 million and has killed over 200,000 Americans. The United States is leading in the world with infections and death. The coronavirus has impacted the lives of millions of Americans.
A reunion of South Carolina. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley will speak at tonight's venue. |
And to make it worse, over 93% of Republicans approve of the job Donald J. Trump is doing.
They are satisfied with the way things are going in the country.
They are very enthusiastic about the election. They will proudly vote for Trump despite the chaos he is causing in real time.

All I can tell you in real time, that 6.8 million people are infect with the coronavirus. Over 200,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. There are over 35 million Americans unemployed in the United States. Companies are going out of business left and right. We have civil unrest in many of America's municipalities. We are less than three months away from the U.S. Elections and we're not prepared for the possibility of election tampering from foreign entities. We are not prepared for mail-in ballots or absentee ballots. We are having a food crisis due to the coronavirus.
White nationalist Matt Gaetz is slated to speak. |
Over 103 people have died a day because of gun violence.
We are really having a moment where the world is on fire and Donald J. Trump is just playing golf or rambling about how everyone who doesn't support his ass is anti-American.
The Republican National Convention is on tonight.
