| The Republican National Convention was held at Fiserve Forum in Milwaukee, WI from July 15-18, 2024. The July 13 assassination attempt against President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania provided a shocking backdrop to the gathering, but Trump rebounded quickly. He was a presence throughout the Convention, his bandaged right ear a reminder of what had happened. On July 15 he announced U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance as his choice for running mate. He watched some of the convention proceedings from seats inside the hall at Fiserve. On the closing day, he delivered a record setting 92-minute long acceptance speech. Republicans emerged from the Convention motivated, confident, and united. One delegate who has been to every Republican Convention since 1976 said this was the best he has attended. The MKE 2024 Host Committee raised over $85 million to help make the Convention a success. Protests had a negligible impact. Wisconsin is seen as a top battleground state in the November election. |
