Trump Considers Historic Gettysburg As Site For RNC Nomination Speech

GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - AUGUST 11: This canon is part of the monument to Union Battery H of the 1st United States Artillery near the fence between the National Cemetery and the private Evergreen Cemetery, where President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address, across the road from the Gettysburg National Military Park on August 11, 2020 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The park is one of the places that President Donald Trump is considering giving his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination later this month. Trump was originally scheduled to accept his nomination in Charlotte, North Carolina, the location of the Republican National Convention, but moved his speech in June to Jacksonville, Florida, to try to skirt safety requirements like social distancing and mask-wearing that were put in place to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). In July, he pulled the convention out of Jacksonville as COVID-19 cases surged in Florida.(Footage by Chip Somodevilla/ Getty Images)
