The new plans will mean smaller crowds, fewer speeches and the use of indoor and outdoor venues in an attempt to salvage an in-person convention in the state of Florida, which has become one of the country's leading coronavirus hotspots. Attendance will be limited to the 2,500 regular RNC delegates for the first three days of the convention, with delegates allowed to bring one guest and alternate delegates also allowed to attend, capping total attendance at about 7,000 people.
" In the past, organizers had said that every single person who enters the convention perimeter would be given a Covid-19 test.View 2020 presidential election pollingRNC officials decided in June to move the convention -- aside from pro-forma voting -- away from Charlotte, North Carolina, after the state's Democratic governor insisted on safety protocols including social distancing and mask-wearing, which Trump was unwilling to accept at the time.
I guess the virus is real when your own lives are at stake
It's obvious that they have to scale back as their MAGA supporters are struggling with COVID-19 and they don't have enough people to fill the location.
Did these people have common sense?
But yet it’s all good for kids to go back to school
FYI: 33 labs busted in fl today for increasing + covid cases by 90%!!! Knew ’s were inflated but 90% is SHOCKING!! And that’s just ones that were caught. ’s are a fraction of what is being reported... so, convention shouldn’t be an issue.
NYC Isis HELL thanks to Dem politicians...
👍
Nah, I think they should go all in, they deserve what they’re getting!
EU should assess the illegal activities of Armenia in the occupied territories, including the illegal settlement of Armenia in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan KarabakhisAzerbaijan StopArmenianAggression StopArmenianOccupation HumanRights OSCE
Oh they scare now Lol. No mask no problem they said but postpost an event because of too scare of a Fake news data🤣🤣🤣
Not the best idea...
So no one can play with the nos of attendees. Who cares if Floridians get more covids19. The Pres. doesnt. Enjoy.
Close down convention.
Another chance for Republicans and Democrats to show up and let Pres Trump know they do not approve of his method governing the country and serious lack of respect around the world.
Only 2500 lucky attendees will have the opportunity to get infected or infect others, and potentially die! Claim your ticket soon...we have over 1-MILLION requests!
Here you go:
COME ON DOWN!
Now that Donald Trump is receiving the information concerning the pandemic he will make it go away in one week. Being reelected is more important to him than the American people. Information should be sent to Trump and CDC. Trump is not the king of America Congress makes our laws
Hypocrites CharlotteNC
Will the president go?
Who knew America would be struggling. More that the poorest nation somewhere in 3rd world😂
The long-standing attitude or POTUS45 and GOP!
But I thought they didn’t think it was real?
This Canadian snowbird won’t be spending hard earned dollars in Florida, ever again. I’ve seen the truth of the place. Covid has been great for showing the real story
Orange man isn’t going to be happy
“Surge”
Really!
It’s gonna be great seeing the Trump idiots spew their dumb shit ignorance. What’s PC is not calling them out for how fucking stupid they are.
Masks keep us safe, right? You can’t have it both ways.
so moving it wasn't a smart idea..
Uh, let’s pick the state with the most virus cases ..... and go!!
Go right ahead! You’re weak if you wear a mask to it. floridiots covidiots
“Struggle” lol please
Nah scale that mf up
We can just scale it all the way down to zero
Enjoy Covid-19!
THEY CAN PARTY NOW BUT THEIR WELL-EARNED & DESERVED 'RECKONING' WILL COME NOV 2020; NOT ONE VOTE SHOULD BE CAST FOR ANY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE ESP. TRUMP & 'MOSCOW MITCH'... NONE ARE WORTHY!!!
Thank you CNN for supporting antifa we would never be able to get away with what we've gotten away with it if it wasn't for your support
Fuck yes. Definitely have one in Florida. Maybe Texas right after. MAGA!!! USA! USA! USA!
Floridians wait in their cars sometimes up to 10 hours for a COVID test. But if you’re going to the convention, they’ll have testing available....WTF. TrumpKillsFlorida DeSantisFailedFlorida TrumpKillsUs TrumpKnewAndDidNothing
It would be tremendously beautiful strong really something special karma believe me, if nobody attended. Think of the yuuuge narcissistic injury to his fragile ego GOPBetrayedAmerica TrumpVirusCatastrophe MurdererInChief
Good deal. Gather em all together, get them all in one place. And keep them there until this is over.
Lack empathy in! The more the merrier! Fewer red votes in November
We will have our convention... let the Dems worry about the rioters and looters and killers walking the streets trying to destroy our country
👍👍
They need to wait before making this decision. Once HHS gets the Corona numbers “adjusted”, everything will be just fine in Florida.
With a 9.8% infection rate instead of a 98% infection rate for the state. Oh please 🙄
Why take any precautions ? If schools can open this fall, hold the convention as usual, no masks or social distancing. It’s all been overinflated right?
The Republicans are going to party, they're going to vote, they're going to put American lives on the line.
After it was confirmed they cooked the books on the numbers. MAGA Trump2020LandslideVictory
Are these people crazy?
Just dumb!
So sad.
You mean the state that overreported by 90 percent. Ya suck me
Why? If we can go to school it shouldn’t be an issue.
But get back in school, kids! Your sacrifice is needed for Trump's reelection!
'Scaled back'.....5 People Show Up!!!!!
So U moved the GOP Convention from NC bc the Democratic Gov wouldn’t “kiss the ring” & allow U to have your coronation & NOT practice social distancing?!🤔 & now you’re going to have it in JAX where the Coronavirus is 🤬 raging AND U HAVE TO practice social distancing?!🤷🏾♂️
They're struggling because they're miscounting Positive cases, and Deaths... but yeah whatever.Scamdemic
They should just make everyone wear a mask it should be fine. 😷 I hear masks are the answer to everything😷😷
It's a new term they are using for a poor turnout. They should have tried it Tulsa to see if it worked. Good luck in Florida! 😂🤣
What could possibly (cough) go wrong (cough, cough)? 🦠🥴🦠🤷♀️🦠🙄🦠
What's wrong with the mentality of GOP... Anti Personality Disorder ? Have they always been followers...because I don't see leadership in any them. There is something seriously wrong with Them...
Oh, open it up! Send in the magats!
By “scaled-back” I assume only the GOP snakes 🐍 can attend
All of their moving things and changing things isn't going to save them!
For a non-American, I don't understand, why are they bothering to have a national convention at all if it's clear Trump is already their preferred candidate? Is this like, an official nomination ceremony?
COVIDPALOOZA! Imagine picking the place most ravaged by a deadly virus to hold a convention? 😜😜
But why? They've been at pains to point out that hospital admission aren't that high and the death rate is falling. What's to worry about?
but Trump moved it from Charlotte to have a full arena
They scaled back in Tulsa, also!
