Trump to accept nomination in Jacksonville after moving most of convention out of Charlotte

CNN  

CNN — Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced on Thursday that President Donald Trump will accept the Republican nomination this year in Jacksonville, Florida. McDaniel said Wednesday that Jacksonville is “absolutely in the frontrunning position” to host the celebration for the Republican convention. Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, the former chairman of the Florida Republicans and one of the few big city Republican mayors, pitched his city as the next convention host on Twitter last week and Florida Gov. Curry patiently listened to the heckling, which were overtaken by shouts of “Black Lives Matter.” He repeated that rallying cry over and over, becoming a rare Republican elected official to openly declare: “Black lives do matter!” After reports indicated that Jacksonville was a leading candidate to host Trump’s acceptance speech North Carolina Democratic Party spokesman Austin Cook, said in a statement, “If the President is genuinely delusional enough to think that demanding a full-scale convention is reasonable, then Jacksonville is more than welcome to host his acceptance speech.” Officials had also considered Nashville, Las Vegas, Orlando and Savannah, Georgia.
