In what has to be considered one of the biggest surprises of the week, the Republican National Committee UNANIMOUSLY voted/agree upon a reduced size Convention here in Charlotte and is now still planning to come to the Queen City.

Last month, President Trump had said if North Carolina could not assure a FULL Convention, then he would move it to another city.

Yesterday, a report was leaked that Jacksonville was the new site.  Apparently not.

And apparently, the RNC and the President are not on the same page.

Good for Charlotte business for sure
