The Republican National Committee is hoping the Cavaliers are not the only winners from Cleveland this summer.

The party's Twitter account congratulated the Cavaliers on Twitter on Monday morning for winning the NBA championship over the Golden State Warriors and predicted more success from the city in the coming months.


“Congrats to the @cavs! This team is just the first winner Cleveland will produce this summer!” it tweeted, in a message quickly retweeted by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.

The Republican National Convention will take place in Cleveland next month, where Donald Trump looks to officially win the nomination.

The Cavaliers’ deep run in the playoffs, however, did pose a bit of a challenge for the GOP, which had to wait the maximum length of the series to begin setting up for the convention at the team's Quicken Loans Arena. As the Cavaliers kept winning, the Republican Party was unable to begin preparations for the convention, as The New York Times reported last Friday, a day after the team's final possible home game.
