President Trump has threatened to pull the Republican National Convention out of North Carolina.
The governors of Florida and Georgia have expressed interest in hosting the Republican National Convention in August after President Trump threatened on Monday to pull the event out of North Carolina unless the Democratic governor allows for it to be at full capacity.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, told reporters on Tuesday that he would „love“ to host either the Republican or the Democratic National Convention.
„In terms of the RNC, Florida would love to have the RNC. Heck, I’m a Republican, it’d be good for us to have the DNC in terms of the, in terms of the economic impact when you talk about major events like that,“ DeSantis said. „So the door is open, we want to have the conversation, whether it’s RNC, DNC, whatever, because I think it would be good for the people of Florida.“
DeSantis also said he had „let folks at the White House know that we want to work with them“ regarding the location of the convention.
