The Nashville Metro Council last night voted 22-10 against a draft agreement paving the way for the Republican National Convention to be hosted in Nashville in 2024, the Nashville Post reports. Those opposed to the proposal expressed concerns about possible violence at the event. State officials, all of them Republican, have hinted at possible retribution for Nashville’s unwillingness to host the event. “The people of Tennessee will remember this vote for a long time and so will I,” House Majority Leader William Lamberth, R-Portland, said after the vote.
