The city of Jacksonville, Florida, will serve as the host city to “celebrate President Trump’s acceptance of nomination,” Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced on Thursday.
While the RNC’s Executive Committee voted unanimously to allow the “official business” of the convention to occur in Charlotte, North Carolina, the celebration of Trump’s nomination has been moved to Jacksonville due to North Carolina’s current coronavirus restrictions.
“The selection of Jacksonville comes after Governor Roy Cooper refused to provide assurances that this celebration could occur in Charlotte, North Carolina,” the press release stated.
“We are thrilled to celebrate this momentous occasion in the great city of Jacksonville,” McDaniel said in a statement. “Not only does Florida hold a special place in President Trump’s heart as his home state, but it is crucial in the path to victory in 2020.”
“We look forward to bringing this great celebration and economic boon to the Sunshine State in just a few short months,” she added:
We are thrilled to hold @realDonaldTrump's acceptance of the Republican nomination in the great city of Jacksonville!
Not only is Florida his home state, it is crucial to victory.
We look forward to bringing this great celebration and economic boon to the Sunshine State!

Hopefully the attendees don’t riot and loot. Tee hee
How about the rock group “Quiet Riot”???
The “Republican” mayor of Jax has been leading BLM marches and tearing down confederate statues, too. I’m not sure how reliable he will be should radical Dems start rioting during the convention.
IMHO they should have had it in TN .
He’s a liberal snake
Should have the convention in Las Vegas.
Do it in a rat controlled state-—stuff in down their throat. Just a thought.
No, but there will be massive rioting. Count on it.
Hell, they’ve gotten away with everything they wanted to do
so far.
Two birds with one stone.
The Jax mayor is a variety chamber of commerce toady RINO.
Are we meant to attend and peacefully protest?
Jacksonville is a terrible choice. I attended a conference there last year, and it was the most boring location ever for an event. On the other hand, if you wanted excitement all you had to do was take a stroll after dark. Terrible crime problem, and loaded with “dindus.” I would say the probability of BLM-instigated protests and riots is extremely high.
Yeah, and it’s during the same week as Sharpton’s March on Washington - maybe they’ll burn down DC as well
Now put a wall around Disney World while the NBA holds its “social justice festival” (I mean, playoffs).
I’m sure that they’re already thinking about this with respect to a few individual speeches, but it would be far more effective to have them all up there at the same time. I’m thinking of the televised meeting he had with black conservatives today. It was very impressive.
This. Terrible choice as you say.
The mayor is a pissant. A republican pissant.
He couldn't manage a one-car . . . never mind.
Wouldn’t doubt it.
