Media to be barred from Trump election nomination

Washington, Aug 2 (IANS): The Republican Party's vote to nominate President Donald Trump as its candidate for the November elections will be held in private, without press in attendance, the media reported on Sunday.

A Republican National Convention spokeswoman gave coronavirus health guidelines as the reason, the BBC reported.

The party was "working within the parameters set before us by state and local guidelines regarding the number of people who can attend events", the spokeswoman said on Saturday.

The 336 party delegates will meet on August 24 in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina to formally renominate Trump.

They will cast proxy votes for some 2,500 official delegates.

Trump is the party's sole remaining nominee, and his renomination will officially launch his re-election bid.

Saturday's decision marks a significant change for the convention, which historically has worked to draw media attention to spread party messaging to the public, said the BBC report.

Trump had switched the location of the convention to Jacksonville, Florida, after the Democratic governor of North Carolina insisted in May on limiting the crowd size at the convention, on the grounds of social distancing.

But he later scrapped the Florida convention, blaming the state's coronavirus "flare-up".

    Jesus on coming US election and pros and cons of democracy and communism in a message to John Leary dated Feb 8th 2020.

    Jesus said: “My people, you can see how upset the left are when the Senate voted to acquit your President’s impeachment from the House. Based on the track record of the opposition party, you can see how their views come right out of Karl Marx’s play book for total control. You just saw a program that defined capitalism as financial freedom to keep most of what you earned. Capitalism allows innovation and the market place determines which products will succeed and which products will fail. Socialist communism dictates what you can have, and the equality or sameness that the majority will have. The communist leaders receive all the spoils as they become dictators that cannot be removed. Remember what I mentioned before, that the communists keep their subjects under control by starving the masses. The people have no say in their communist government because it is run as a dictatorship like Russia, China, North Korea, and Venezuela. I have also told you that this coming election will be a choice between freedom and a communist dictatorship. Be careful how your voting machines work, because the opposition party will cheat any way they can to take over your government. Pray that you are able to keep your freedoms, especially your right to worship Me, and not be controlled by atheistic communists.”
