EXCLUSIVE: Republican Party officials, pressing forward with plans to hold an in-person national convention, have hired a senior medical adviser to help “pave a safe path” for the event in August amid the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News has learned. “He knows the players on the ground at the state and local level,” a convention official told Fox News. “We recognize that this is an unprecedented health crisis,” a convention official told Fox News. He later floated that the DNC could potentially be looking to hold a “virtual convention.” But party Chairman Tom Perez still has predicted an in-person convention. “Joe Biden wanted the date for the Democrat National Convention moved to a later time period,” Trump tweeted.
