POLITICO Announces 2024 GOP Convention Programming at CNN-POLITICO Grill in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

ARLINGTON, Va. — POLITICO, the global authority on the intersection of power, politics and policy, today announced an unprecedented roster of on-the-ground and streaming live programming from the RNC in Milwaukee. The slated conversations will illuminate the dynamics of the race, the pulse of voters from across the country, and the ultimate impact of the election on policies that will shape the future of the nation and the world for generations to come.
 
Hosted by an unparalleled roster of POLITICO reporters, the four-days of programming will bring together some of the nation’s most influential Republicans, both public figures and elected officials, who will preview, weigh in on, and unpack the latest dynamics of the election, convention happenings, and policy outcomes. POLITICO will also convene the nation’s most influential Democrats at the DNC in Chicago in August.
 
All interviews will take place inside the CNN-POLITICO Grill at the historic Turner Hall in Milwaukee, just steps away from the convention floor inside Fiserv Forum. A National, State, City and County Historic Landmark, Turner Hall was founded in 1853, and today hosts a variety of non-partisan civic educational and wellness programs along with artistic and cultural events for the greater Milwaukee community.
