Amid surging cases of COVID-19 in Florida, President Donald Trump announced Thursday afternoon in his daily coronavirus task force briefing that the part of the Republican National Convention to be held in Jacksonville next month would no longer go forward. He said the portion of the convention planned for Charlotte, North Carolina, which was originally set to host the whole convention before the state limited mass gatherings amid the pandemic, would still take place, and he would give an acceptance speech in an alternate format, potentially online.
