Yesterday our state's governor said Florida would LOVE to host either the Democratic National Convention or Republican National Convention.

Governor Ron DeSantis said, "Florida would love to have the RNC. Heck, I'm a Republican, it would be good for us to have the DNC in terms of the economic impact."

North Carolina is scheduled to host the RNC. It's set to take place August 24th through August 27th. President Trump said it's questionable whether or not that will work out since Governor Roy Cooper is still in "Shutdown mood" and can't guarantee that by August full capacity will be allowed at gatherings.

The DNC is currently scheduled to take place August 17-20 in Wisconsin.
