US Republican National Convention Set to Start in Milwaukee Amid Heightened Security

The US Republican National Convention kicks off on July 15 in Milwaukee, WI, amid extremely heightened security measures in the wake of the assassination attempt on President Trump.

Delegates at the convention are set to nominate billionaire Trump as a candidate for the US presidency and approve the party’s political platform, while the former president himself decided to keep the intrigue to the last as he as set to announce the name of his vice-presidential candidate during the event.

A source said earlier that law enforcers providing security at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee had been put on high alert following the assassination attempt on Trump, which took place at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. Up to 50,000 people are expected to attend the event, which will last for four days and will be closed to the general public. The Convention’s schedule stipulate speeches delivered by the party’s leading figures, culminating in a speech by President Trump, who will be officially endorsed by the party as a candidate for the US presidency.

This is a developing story that HO1 will continue to monitor.
