The governors of Georgia and Florida have offered to host the Republican National Convention after President Trump threatened to pull the event out of North Carolina, where it is expected to be held in late August
Trump contended that Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is"unable to guarantee" that the Charlotte arena can be filled to capacity for the convention scheduled for August 24 to 27. Cooper has said that data and science will guide his decisions on whether the state can hold large gatherings like the convention amid the coronavirus pandemic.The friction prompted Georgia Gov.
"Florida wants to work with you if you're a business, if you're a sports team, if you want to have some of these events, we want to work with you to get to yes."Cooper, for his part, would not say Tuesday whether he is worried about the convention leaving Charlotte."I supported having the convention in North Carolina, but we have to put the health and safety of North Carolinians as the guiding star in this process," he said.
