President Trump Cancels Jacksonville Part of GOP Convention

President Trump announced that he will no longer hold an in-person GOP convention in Jacksonville.
The president’s decision was based on the rising number of covid-19 cases in Florida. But, he said despite the cancellation, virtual ceremonies will be held and he will deliver an acceptance speech in a different format. He added it was quote “not the right time” to hold the highly-anticipated convention but reiterated that events in Charlotte will still take place. As for the event in Charlotte, President Trump says “it won’t be your typical convention, but, it will be very safe”. Bill Stepien, the president’s reelection campaign manager, praised the Florida cancellation in a statement, writing “Leading by example, president trump has put the health and safety of the american people first with his decision on the Jacksonville convention.”
