As Trump Deadline Approaches, N.C. Wants More On Convention

North Carolina’s top health official has asked for more details on how GOP leaders will protect attendees of a Republican National Convention this summer during the COVID-19 pandemic. President Donald Trump has threatened to move his formal renomination elsewhere if he doesn't soon get guarantees of being able to hold a large-scale event. State Health and Human Services Secretary Mandy Cohen sought more specifics Friday beyond the safety protocols the GOP leaders said want approved for the August event in Charlotte. She particularly wants to know whether Trump wants to hold his nomination event on the convention’s final night in a crowd-like setting and without social distancing or masks.
