The Republican National Committee says it has selected Jacksonville, Florida, to host President Trump’s acceptance speech for the Republican nomination.
While the convention business, rules and platform voting, will still be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, from Aug. 24-27, the president's acceptance speech will now be held on Aug. 27 at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, which holds 15,000 people."We are thrilled to celebrate this momentous occasion in the great city of Jacksonville," said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
"The RNC's Executive Committee has unanimously approved procedures that allow for official convention business to continue in Charlotte," an RNC spokesperson told ABC News. The unprecedented move to change the location of the president's acceptance speech comes just two months out, and presents Republicans with the tall task of having to shift years worth of work and investment -- an uphill battle McDaniel acknowledged in a interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Wednesday.
Trump tweeted last week that due to the escalating feud with Cooper,"We are now forced to seek another State to host the 2020 Republican National Convention." Trump laid blame for the sudden change of plans squarely on Cooper, but the governor has maintained that he is prioritizing public health over politics.
