RNC ‘split-screen convention for the ages’ with 2 hurricanes making landfall: ‘Basically God endorsing Joe Biden’
Published 1 min ago on August 22, 2020By Bob Brigham

Two tropical storms could hit the U.S. gulf course as hurricanes during next week’s Republican National Committee Convention.

Tropical Storm Marco is currently predicted to hit Louisiana on Monday evening, during the first day of the RNC Convention.

Tropical Storm Laura is also headed towards Louisiana, with an expected landfall on Wednesday afternoon, during the third day of the convention.
