\n Republicans plan to move their convention nominating President Trump for a second term from an indoor arena to an outdoor venue as Florida\u2019s coronavirus cases spike, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing a pair of party sources.<\/p>\n

The plan, which Trump tentatively agreed to on Monday during a White House meeting with top Republican National Committee officials, according to the report, emerged as the party scrambled to host a large-scale event next month amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has sickened more than 3.3 million Americans to date and killed more than 135,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not blind to the health concerns in Florida,\u201d a Republican official said. \u201cBut at the same time, we\u2019re committed to holding an in-person celebration of the president\u2019s nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had also questioned whether the convention would go down as planned, citing the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Organizers had planned to host the Aug. 24-27 convention at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, which has also seen a jump in cases.<\/p>\n

They now will move the main events \u2014 including Trump\u2019s acceptance speech \u2014 to one of two outdoor arenas in the area, the two Republican sources said.<\/p>\n

The sources emphasized the plans still could change, and the RNC declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Skepticism has grown about the likelihood of a full-scale convention, with some members of Congress saying they will skip it and some donors wary of bankrolling an event in a state with rising infections. Democrats are planning a mostly virtual convention.<\/p>\n

Florida\u2019s virus count has soared since it was chosen to host the convention after Trump scrapp<\/a>ed long-laid plans to accept the party\u2019s nomination in Charlotte, N.C.<\/p>\n

That state\u2019s governor, Democrat Roy Cooper, would not commit to allowing large gatherings with restrictions in place because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Health officials reported the highest daily increase of deaths in Florida residents from COVID-19 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the state reported more than 15,000 new cases, marking the highest single-day total of known cases in any state.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
