President Trump on Thursday announced that he is canceling next month’s Republican National Convention in Jacksonville, Florida, citing the importance of “keep our people safe” due to the recent spike of coronavirus cases in the sunshine state.
At least five Republican senators will not attend the Republican National Convention next month in Jacksonville, Florida, citing their own reelection campaign, concerns about Florida latest surge in coronavirus cases, or personal reasons for making other plans in late August.
Rep. Val Demings (D-FL) said the requirements from the Trump campaign to require attendees to sign a medical waiver for the upcoming Tulsa rally on Saturday is a “pretty good clue” that President Trump shouldn’t be holding a large-scale rally.
