\n Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell broke with the White House on Thursday and said the coronavirus pandemic may scuttle plans for the Republican National Convention.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have to wait and see how things look in late August to determine whether or not we can safely convene that many people,\u201d McConnell said in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The Republican leader did not directly answer where he\u2019s willing to skip the Jacksonville, Fla., gathering along with a handful of other GOP senators.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the convention is a challenging situation and a number of my colleagues have announced that they are not going to attend,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

McConnell, 78, is a polio survivor and early in the pandemic stoically carried on his duties on Capitol Hill, wading through tightly packed groups of colleagues and reporters. But as new infections surge, he\u2019s been a leading Republican proponent of mask-wearing.<\/p>\n

President Trump and White House officials want to hold a traditional nominating event in August. Trump ordered the venue be moved to Florida after Democratic officials in Charlotte, North Carolina, indicated they would object to original plans.<\/p>\n

Democrats have all but scrapped their Milwaukee, Wisconsin, convention and have snipped at Republicans for potentially threatening public health.<\/p>\n

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Wednesday, \u201cWe\u2019re still moving forward with Jacksonville.\u00a0 It\u2019ll be a safe event.\u00a0 It will be a good event.\u00a0 And it will be up to the RNC as to how those details are hashed out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vice President Mike Pence said last week during a visit to Florida that there would be \u201cvery sophisticated\u201d plans to prevent attendees from spreading COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Susan Collins of Maine, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah say they don\u2019t plan to attend the RNC.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
