He said,“It’s not the right time for that,” but would deliver a convention speech in a different form.

Some Republican delegates will join together in Charlotte, North Carolina, the original venue for the convention.

During coronavirus briefing in White House on Thursday, Mr. Trump said that he was concerned about the safety of people.

A Democratic strategist involved in their conference planning said: “I wonder who will have the better convention – the party who recognized the limitations early on and have been planning for a mostly virtual/digital television production to capitalize on a prime-time audience of millions, or the clowns who keep moving theirs from place to place and have no concrete plan a month out.”
