Trump Threatens to Pull Republican National Convention From North Carolina (Published 2020)
The president, who has wondered aloud to aides why the convention can’t be held in Florida, said North Carolina’s governor needed to “guarantee” that the event could be held in August.

"The people of North Carolina do not know what the status of COVID-19 will be in August, so planning for a scaled-down convention with fewer people, social distancing and face coverings is a necessity," Governor Cooper wrote to the RNC.
Since without a guarantee of a "full" convention, Trump threatened to move it from Charlotte, now he has no choice, if he wants to maintain his reputation as a "stand up President."
The best thing for the City of Charlotte is for the convention to disappear; now that appears very likely. Let some other city and state have the economic benefit as well as the inherent health risks.
