He is using it to attack the governor of North Carolina who is concerned about the health and safety of the residents there.
Party committees announce location site, etc., two years in advance because it takes that long to plan a full-scale convention. Trying to this is 2-3 months? Just not possible. https://t.co/kfIfnJjUUF

Trump just gave the governor of North Carolina a week to come up with a plan for the Republican convention.

The Republican National Convention, such as it will be, is going to be held at Mar-a-Lago, right? https://t.co/xrcZSkTfYr

Amusing that Trump is now threatening to pull the Republican National Convention from Charlotte.

Apparently, it was the only city that submitted a bid.
Good luck finding a new location with three months to go. https://t.co/Cgy7fs89ye
The President began a solemn Memorial Day railing against North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, ahead of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Trump threatened to pull the event out of Charlotte, where it's expected to be held August 24 to 27. https://t.co/dZZrAL5vhW

President Trump threatens to move the Republican National Convention from Charlotte if North Carolina’s Democratic governor doesn't immediately sign off on allowing the event to go ahead in August with full attendance despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/CSJshLDsRy

Trump threatens to move convention elsewhere if NC Gov doesn’t immediately guarantee Charlotte will be fully open for 50,000 visitors.

(Gov Cooper has been following a three phase reopening model based on health metrics, as the WH advised) https://t.co/57QZUV5Uxw https://t.co/uawxKyiWqc
With the health and safety of our residents and visitors being the top priority, the city of Charlotte will continue to follow guidance from Governor Cooper and public health professionals in determining the best and safest way to host the Republican National Convention.

Trump’s threat to pull the convention from Charlotte unless the gov allows for attendees to attend in full (and risk mass infection) raises the tantalizing prospect that this year’s RNC gathering will end up at… Doral.

President Trump threatened to pull the Republican National Convention from Charlotte, North Carolina, where it is scheduled to be held in August. He said the state’s governor needed to “guarantee” that the event would take place. https://t.co/yLDoUrEX2Z

. @NC_Governor understands that our state isn’t out of the woods.

Holding a major convention in Charlotte wherein most attendees would refuse to wear masks/social distance would be catastrophic.
Thank you for continuing to protect North Carolinians, Governor Cooper! https://t.co/z1a07oRjaD
How can you run a nation when you can't run a convention for fear of empty seats?https://t.co/BEGZrhlSbA

It’s worth noting President Donald Trump is not a party in the #RNC2020 contract. It’s an agreement between the city of Charlotte and RNC Host Committee.
— Joe Bruno (@JoeBrunoWSOC9) May 25, 2020
Again, at odds with the experts – Trump is threatening to move August’s Republican National Convention from Charlotte if the state won't commit to "full attendance".
— Chris Jansing (@ChrisJansing) May 25, 2020
NC currently limits indoor gatherings to ten.
Here’s what we actually reported. If the president is interested in hosting the RNC at Doral, it would be news to us! (And news). Florida is a state that’s further along in its reopening plants > https://t.co/cO8FE904O6

Actually no one reported that, sir. As always appreciate you checking to see what was what before you tweeted. https://t.co/Q6z64qBIJj
