RNC outlines guidelines for NC convention
The Republican National Committee (RNC) on Friday sent a letter to North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper outlining the guidelines for the party’s upcoming national convention amid the ongoing dispute with the Democratic governor due to him not wanting to ease the state’s COVID-19 restrictions.
“The people who will visit the Charlotte region during the Convention, as well as the businesses and workers who will benefit are looking to you to set the rules and requirements for the RNC to hold a safe, secure event,” the letter issued by RNC chair Ronna McDaniel (pictured) and GOP Convention President and CEO Marcia Lee Kelly stated. “We still do not have solid guidelines from the State and cannot in good faith, ask thousands of visitors to begin paying deposits and making travel plans without knowing the full commitment of the Governor, elected officials and other stakeholders in supporting the convention,” the two added.
Previously US President Donald Trump claimed he wishes to hold the convention in North Carolina, accusing the state’s governor of acting “suspiciously” and moving very “slowly” in regards to lifting virus measures.
