North Carolina throws convention threat back at Trump and GOP [View all]
Donald Trump threatened Monday to pull the Republican National Convention out of North Carolina if state officials dont roll out the red carpet soon.
On Tuesday, those officials put the onus on national Republicans to show they can pull off a 50,000-person event safely.
In a letter to Marcia Kelly, the president and CEO of the convention, North Carolina secretary of Health and Human Services Mandy Cohen acknowledged the presidents warning and requested a public health plan for the event.
"The status of Covid-19 infections in our state and in the Charlotte area continues to rapidly evolve [so] it will be important to have several scenarios planned that can be deployed depending on the public health situation," she wrote. "[M]easured and careful planning efforts are important not only to convention-goers, but also to the North Carolinians who rely on us to protect the publics health."
