July 14th 2024.
It's been a busy year for former President Donald Trump, and things don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Despite surviving an assassination attempt just days ago, Trump is determined to attend a major Republican event this week. The UFC 299 event at Kaseya Center on March 9, 2024, saw Trump in attendance, and now he's ready to make another appearance.
For months, Trump has been the presumptive 2024 GOP nominee for president, and he's eager to make it official at the Republican National Convention. According to Trump campaign senior advisors Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, Trump is excited to join the convention in Milwaukee and share his vision of "Making America Great Again" as the party's nominee.
In a post on his new social media platform, Truth Social, Trump expressed his love for the country and his excitement to speak to the nation from Wisconsin. And it's not just Trump who will be present at the convention – many members of his family are expected to attend as well.
But what exactly is the Republican National Convention? Well, it's a political convention that takes place every four years for party delegates to choose their nominees for president and vice president. This year's convention will have 2,429 delegates representing states and territories across the country, with the nominee needing to secure 1,215 delegates to win the presidency.
The RNC is not only about officially nominating Trump as the GOP's candidate for president, but it's also a chance for the party to finalize its platform and for heavyweights and celebrities to energize the base. With over 50,000 attendees, the RNC is expected to be a star-studded event. However, the Democratic Party will also hold a convention next month.
The RNC will take place from July 15 to 18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state that Trump won in 2016 but lost narrowly to President Joe Biden in 2020. The main venue for the convention will be the Fiserv Forum, but there will also be events held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panther Arena and the Baird Center.
Former First Lady Melania Trump, who has been absent from the election cycle, is set to attend the RNC along with several other Republican leaders, celebrities, and members of Trump's family. His sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, along with their wives and fiancé, are scheduled to speak, as well as celebrities like UFC CEO Dana White, rapper and model Amber Rose, and TV personality Savannah Chrisley.
Each day of the convention will have a specific theme centered around Trump's famous slogan, "Make America Great Again." And while the official welcoming party on Sunday was called "Red, White, and Brew," the convention will be anything but a party. It's a chance for the GOP to come together and discuss important issues and strategies for the upcoming election.
On the last day of the convention, Thursday, Trump is expected to formally accept the party's nomination and give an acceptance speech. Rumors have been swirling about who Trump's vice presidential running mate will be, with names like North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Ohio Senator JD Vance, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio being thrown around. Whoever it may be, they will likely address members of the party at the convention.
For those unable to attend in person, the Republican National Committee will be streaming convention events online. With so much at stake, it's sure to be an eventful and historic convention that will set the tone for the upcoming election.
