Whereas Democrats are moving forward with a cautious approach -- setting their convention back by a month and openly acknowledging that this year's event may need to be virtual -- Republicans are insisting that the pandemic has not changed their plans and are bluntly ruling out the possibility of a virtual event.
Another reason for the optimism, according to a Republican source with knowledge of the plans, is that it is far harder to raise the money needed to host a virtual convention, so any acknowledgment that the event will not be in person directly impacts the money coming in to host the event. The source said Republicans have until late June or early July to make a final decision on whether the convention should go forward as planned.
