President Donald Trump says he is getting closer to choosing the venue for accepting his party’s nomination.
On Monday, Trump tweeted that he had narrowed down the potential venues for his speech to the Gettysburg battlefield or the White House.
“We have narrowed the Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, to be delivered on the final night of the Convention (Thursday), to two locations – The Great Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the White House, Washington, D.C.,” he wrote.
He added, “We will announce the decision soon!”
His tweet did not go over well with some Twitter users:

Trump’s comments come weeks after he announced that the Republican National Convention’s events in Jacksonville, Florida would be canceled due to the surge of COVID-19 in that state, as IJR reported.
He was slated to deliver his acceptance speech in Jacksonville, but since suggested that he may deliver his speech at the White House, as IJR reported.
“We’re thinking about doing it from the White House because there’s no movement, and it’s easy,” Trump said during an interview on “Fox & Friends.”
