The Republican National Convention will be held Aug. 24 to 27, 2020, in Charlotte, North Carolina, according to a senior party official familiar with the decision. The timing is more than a month after the Democratic convention, from July 13 to 16.

The site of the GOP convention had been previously announced, but the party now has a date as well. Democrats have not yet decided a location for their presidential convention.


Traditionally, the party of a sitting president running for a second term schedules its convention after the opposition party.
