Salt Lake City is one of four finalists as the Republican National Committee seeks a host city for its 2024 presidential nominating convention.

Delegates attend the Utah Republican Party’s 2021 Organizing Convention at the Maverik Center in West Valley City on Saturday, May 1, 2021. Salt Lake City is a finalist to host the GOP's national convention in 2024.according to PoliticoUtah GOP chairman Carson Jorgensen was elated that Salt Lake made the final four. Originally, eight cities submitted bids to host.

“It is an amazing opportunity for the state to host the 2024 National Convention. We look forward to highlighting the state on a national stage,” said Jorgensen.The effort by the Utah GOP, Visit Salt Lake and others“Anytime we can bring an estimated $200 + million into the local economy, that is a great thing for everyone!” Jorgensen said.

This is the second time Salt Lake has been a finalist to host the convention. In 2012, Utah was passed over in favor of Tampa. In 2016,Salt Lake City and Nashville are both in solidly-Republican states, while Milwaukee and Pittsburgh are in swing states that could prove crucial to the outcome of the 2024 election. Neither party has held its national convention outside of a battleground state since 2004.

Salt Lake City’s 2012 bid was derailed due to a lack of hotel rooms near the convention site, which is a significant factor in the selection process.

Stupid who cares

No thank you. We have enough assholes here already.

Today's GOP

None of them will be able to make the long walk through the SLC airport since their lungs are trashed from Covid.

Hopefully this mask mandate will deter QAnonCult and the GQP from descending upon us! utpoo utpol utleg MAGAss GQPTraitorsToDemocracy

Oh No! Not here!

If we host it this might cause a crisis of prostitution. The might need to import some from Vegas or Phoenix..

Utah, the true center of 🦇💩 crazy!

I hope not. That will be the type of historical blemish you can never wash away.

let the utahgop pay for all of it utah utpol

Special Keynote by Dave Bateman

Great. More negative attention to Utah/Salt Lake City.

Worst air pollution of the year is in February.

If it is still Trumps party, I do not want them here. GOP

No thank you

Perfect protest opportunity.

I prefer AK. It’s social distanced away from where I live. AK? What say you?

I saw they implemented another mask mandate. I bet it won't matter.

Not enough electoral votes and they’re already guaranteed to go to the GOP. If they’re THAT stupid…oh, yes, wait, they are.

🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

🤮🤮🤮🤮 Please. No.

Uggh

Patbagley Utah is too reliable for the GOP to host a convention. They usually like purple states to host.

I don't think it's a good idea to let terrorists congregate here.

No.

Please, please, no.

If Salt Lake has any class they would say no to the Margie Q, Minor loving Gaetz, gaslighting group. p.s. could have had outdoor expo money but.....🙄

No.

SLC is blue. They would probably feel more welcome in Provo or St. George.

Great! A bunch of crazy insurrectionists in town for a cult convention. GOPTraitors GOPTraitorstoDemocracy

He'll NO. There are too many loonies here already.

Make sure you get paid up front.

Of course pick a State that feels the need to Cheat to win. Utah do better

I thought this was the RNC?

Heavens no. Please don't do this SLC.

Bet Mike Lee is getting a chubby just fantasizing about it! 🤔

Please God no, keep those crazy violent terrorists away.

So many targets , So few spitwads .

If SL,UT gets it I will be taking a long vacation. I want to be as far away from the traitors, QAnon believers, and seditionist scum

So this is what GovCox is devoting his time to. No time to help with the sick and dying anymore. Such a suck up.

You think 1/6 was bad? Good luck🙄

Please, no!

Looks like that’s the best time to move out of Utah. Should not let those traitors come and spread their filth all over the city.

.Patbagley Lucky you.

I hope not.

Do we really need a repeat of Charlottesville here?

Regan Republicans? or will it be a Trump QAnon conference?

How disgusting for Salt Lake.

If it means The Giant pumpkin Trump will be here, NO THANKS!

The GQP? I think Richmond VA would be more appropriate 😎

Patbagley Has anyone let the Fly know?

No. The idea is horrifying.

Patbagley Moneylaundering op for kickbacks? No-bid contracts for mercenary “security” companies? Tons of military grade stuff “sold” (auctioned!) to local PDs? Watch this like FIFA CORRUPTION unfolded, too
