Today, President Donald Trump announced that the Jacksonville portion of the RNC has been canceled due to a “COVID flare-up.”
“The timing for this event is not right,” Trump said, according to USA Today. Later on, he continued to say that, “I care deeply about the people of Florida and everywhere else, frankly, in this country and even in the world who would be coming into the state. And I don’t want to do anything to upset it.”
