hours earlier the GOP’s plans for a full-fledged convention in Charlotte, telling Republican officials the only way the event could proceed was with proper health protocols in place.that “Roy Cooper wanted to protect the health of North Carolinians. Donald Trump was thinking about himself.”
But DeSantis appeared eager Thursday to take on the responsibilities associated with producing the event, and tied his support for an in-person convention to his aggressive approach for reopening his state. “We understand that there’s a virus. What can we do to be able to have activity in a way that’s safe?” he said. “To just say no to everything, I don’t think is going to work. So we want to be able to do it, and I think we could do it in a safe way.”
DeSantis also predicted the president would call upon the powers of his office to protect the health of convention attendees. Trump has “got people in his administration who deal with this safety stuff every day,” he said, adding that he was “sure they are going to be able to have ways to make sure that people [are] safe.”
“The last thing you would want is [for] delegates [to] go and end up getting ill … but I think that there’s probably ways we can do it,” DeSantis said. “So, ‘We want to get to yes on it’ has basically been my message. Let’s be creative, and let’s figure out a way to do it.”
