\n Republican National Committee leadership have tentatively opted to go with Jacksonville, Florida, as the new host for its August convention, according to a report.<\/p>\n

RNC aides are currently \u201cscrambling\u201d to establish whether the city has enough hotel rooms to accommodate the massive event while the details of the arrangement remain \u201cin flux,\u201d according to the Washington Post.<\/p>\n

The paper reports that GOP officials were in Jacksonville on Monday, surveying the city and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

Some of the lower-profile meetings slated to take place at the convention will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, the original convention site, in order to honor the RNC\u2019s contractual obligations and to prevent the party from facing an onslaught of lawsuits for moving the convention elsewhere.<\/p>\n

When reached by The New York Post for comment on the reporting, an RNC spokesperson said in a statement, \u201cSeveral cities are still being considered. No final decision has been made. Convention officials are touring Phoenix, Savannah, Dallas, and Jacksonville this week, and we have been in conversations with several other potential locations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, President Trump said he would move the Republican National Convention out of North Carolina as a result of the state\u2019s refusal to guarantee that social distancing guidelines could be lifted in order to fully occupy the Spectrum Center, an arena with a seating capacity of up to 20,200.<\/p>\n

Gov. Roy Cooper (D-NC) had sparred with the commander-in-chief over what the August convention would look like.<\/p>\n

Cooper wrote in a May 30 letter to RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and convention CEO Marcia Lee Kelly that President Trump\u2019s desire for a \u201cfull convention\u201d may not be possible.<\/p>\n

Noting that the event being put on by the RNC would include \u201c19,000 delegates, alternative delegates, staff, volunteers, elected officials and guests inside the Spectrum Center,\u201d Cooper argued that he could not guarantee safety given the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of North Carolina don\u2019t know what the status of Covid-19 will be in August, so planning for a scaled-down convention with fewer people, social distancing and face coverings is a necessity,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The governor also said he was still waiting for a response from the party regarding questions about safety raised by the Tar Heel State\u2019s health officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs much as we want the conditions surrounding Covid-19 to be favorable enough to hold the Convention you describe in late August, it is very unlikely,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

In response to the letter, Trump took to Twitter to bemoan that he was now \u201cforced\u201d to move the convention elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Cooper is still in Shelter-In-Place Mode, and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould have showcased beautiful North Carolina to the World, and brought in hundreds of millions of dollars, and jobs, for the State. Because of @NC_Governor, we are now forced to seek another State to host the 2020 Republican National Convention,\u201d he wrote in a series<\/a> of tweets.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
