GOP convention in Charlotte closed to press, portions will be livestreamed
The dramatically scaled-down Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, will be closed to the press, a convention spokesperson and Republican official familiar with the plans tell CNN.

A couple of dynamics are at play here. Possibly Trump fears that the nomination will not be unanimous, causing great embarrassment. Or, most likely, he wants to circumvent the governors mask mandate and social distancing requirements, not to mention hide the small size of the crowd.
With North Carolina a national hot spot for the virus, let's hope the delegates do as much mingling as possible and then get the hell out of town post haste.
