Trump is going full-steam ahead with his Jacksonville GOP convention speech, but the city is a COVID-19 hotspot and locals don't want him there

Trump will be addressing his supporters on the 60th anniversary of a brutal Ku Klux Klan attack on Black protesters in Jacksonville known as

Elsbury said the mayor's office is not concerned that an event commemorating the attack, which was planned before Trump's speech was moved to Jacksonville, will clash with the convention in any way., and the GOP convention is scheduled to occur during a summer in which the US has already seen massive protests against racism and police brutality, which have morphed into an anti-Trump movement in many ways.

"The RNC looks forward to holding a safe event in Jacksonville to celebrate the re-nomination of President Trump and Vice President Pence," an RNC spokesperson said in a statement to Insider. "There will be safety precautions in place that will be adapted based on the situation at the time of the event.

The spokesperson said more details would be announced in the coming weeks. The RNC did not address a question on the apparent local opposition to the convention taking place in the Florida city, nor did it respond when asked whether wearing masks would be mandatory for the event. Trump held his first campaign rally since the coronavirus pandemic began this past Saturday in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Only around 6,200 people attended the event in a venue capable of holding 19,000 people.

The Trump Administration doesn't care whether you live or die.
