Donald Trump announced Monday, August 10 that two locations were under consideration for his speech accepting the Republican nomination for the presidential election on November 3, confirming that one of them was the White House. This last option, which has raised criticism, would blur the border that must be respected by American presidents running for a second term, required to distinguish their official activities - financed from state funds - from their candidate activities.

Candidates from the two major American parties normally accept their formal nomination at a convention bringing together thousands of people, a tradition disrupted this year by the coronavirus pandemic. " We have tightened to two places the pronunciation of the speech accepting the nomination for the presidency, " tweeted Donald Trump, specifying that he would speak " the last day of the convention " Republican, Thursday, August 27.

The first location considered is Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he revealed. Located about an hour and a half drive from the capital Washington, this historic site of the Civil War is also that of a famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. The second place envisaged is the White House, as already mentioned by Donald Trump a few days ago. We will announce our decision soon! ", did he declare.

Last week, he argued the logistical advantages of the White House option, especially in terms of cost but also health security, in the midst of the resurgence of the epidemic in the United States. If for some reason someone has a problem with that, I could go elsewhere, ” he said.

Donald Trump was initially scheduled to formally take on the role of Republican Party candidate at a large activist rally in Charlotte, North Carolina on August 27. Pandemic forces, he had to give up this high mass, the official kickoff of the electoral campaign, and an attempt to move the Republican convention to Florida. For their part, the Democrats are preparing for an almost entirely virtual convention August 17-20 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Joe Biden has announced that he will deliver his nomination speech from Delaware, where he lives.
