Jacksonville emerges as most likely site for GOP convention

Jacksonville emerges as most likely site for GOP convention, according to 4 Republicans familiar with the discussions.

Site surveys are ongoing and convention officials are touring Phoenix, Savannah, Georgia, Dallas — as well as Jacksonville — this week. The party already surveyed Orlando, Florida, Nashville, Tennessee, and New Orleans in recent days.

“The president loves North Carolina and we really wanted to have it in North Carolina because he loves the people of North Carolina, and you have this Democrat governor, who really I think has played politics and not given us guidelines, to prevent us from holding the celebration. But everybody's coming to the table,” she said in an interview with FOX on Tuesday.

But that option is looking less likely because of cost, according to people familiar with the decision-making.
