Nobody Wants to Host the GOP Convention in 2020
Only Charlotte, N.C., had publicly bid on the 2020 GOP Convention by the February 28 deadline - which was extended.
San Antonio considers their possible bid today, May 3.
Both Dallas and Houston declined to bid on the convention before the RNC ever set its sights on the Alamo City, Hardberger said. The RNC’s original bid deadline was Feb. 28, leaving little time for any city approached this late in the game to mount a serious offer.
“I am taking direct part in this decision-making process and feel San Antonio has a great chance,” Parscale said in an April 23 email to Nirenberg, a wink-wink way of promising to help sway the process in S.A.’s favor.
So far, the mayor has couched his reservations in financial terms. Foremost appears to be the RNC’s demand that the host city pony up as much as $70 million.
