Top Georgia Republicans have intensified their efforts to land the party’s presidential nominating convention, though some officials consider the state’s chances a remote possibility.
Gov. Brian Kemp vowed the state can "safely host" the Republican National Convention amid a rollback of coronavirus regulations. U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler and U.S. Rep. Doug Collins have appealed to President Donald Trump to choose the state.
And on Wednesday, the state's entire Republican delegation penned Trump a letter extolling the virtues of the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta’s busy airport, and the city's experience hosting other high-profile events.
“Beyond Atlanta, communities across our state stand ready to welcome you and the thousand of delegates, attendees, and vendors for the 2020 Convention,” read the letter. “Thank you for your consideration. We hope Georgia is on your mind.”
