Republican National Convention in Milwaukee Begins Amidst Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump

Jul 15, 2024, 11:55 AM

The Republican National Convention (RNC) begins today in Milwaukee, just two days after an assassination attempt on former President and presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. The attempt, carried out by a 20-year-old who donated to far-left causes, has led to significant changes in the convention's proceedings. Speakers at the RNC have been instructed to leave their speeches unchanged despite the incident. The theme for the first day of the four-day event is 'Make America Wealthy Again.' The assassination attempt and its implications are expected to dominate discussions at the convention. This comes amid weeks of pressure for President Biden to drop out of the race.
