UH OH, Charlotte asks RNC to 'fulfill all' obligations to city after it relocates most of contention

The city of Charlotte, N.C., demanded the Republican National Committee (RNC) fulfill "all" of its obligations after it moved the main events of its nominating conventions to Jacksonville, Fla.

The demand comes a day after the RNC announced it will move its main events, including President Trump's acceptance speech as the party's nominee, to Jacksonville.
