Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is revealing there are multiple states that have offered to host the upcoming Republican National Convention.
During an appearance on “Fox and Friends” on Tuesday, McDaniel discussed the uncertainties about the convention and restrictions due to the Coronavirus Outbreak. In agreement with the president, McDaniel is also pressing North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) for answers.
“The president is right to say to the governor, ‘You need to assure us before we lock in all these hotel rooms and we bring all of this revenue to your state that you’re going to let us have this convention,’” McDaniel said.
She also revealed multiple states have reached out to express interest in hosting the event.
She continued, “There’s a lot of states that are calling the president right now saying, ‘Hey, why don’t you bring that revenue to our state.’”

While McDaniel admitted that the RNC wants to hold the convention in North Carolina, she insisted the governor needs to be transparent about the state’s intent.
“We want to have it in North Carolina. The president loves North Carolina, it’s just the governor and he’s got to work with us,” McDaniel said. “Every state we talk to is saying, we want to nominate the president here. They’re so excited to have that.”
