The statement came Monday during a conference call with reporters and appears to be a line in the sand about the Republican National Convention scheduled for late August in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Democrats had to move their convention from July to August amid the coronavirus outbreak. There’s still uncertainty about whether Democrats will gather in person.

McDaniel cautioned on the call that it’s too soon to know exactly what a Republican convention will look like. But she appears to expect at least some in-person aspect.
