Security at the Republican National Convention could be back under scrutiny after an assassination attempt against former president Trump on Saturday night in Pennsylvania.
A months-long fight between former President Trump's campaign and the Secret Service under President Biden's administration is back in the spotlight as the Republican National Convention approaches on the heels of an assassination attempt on Trump. 'My staff and I are in contact with those coordinating security planning for the RNC and will continue to be in close communication as we learn more about this situation,' Gov. Tony Evers, D-Wis., wrote on X.
The Secret Service pushed back on Steggerda's concerns at the time, claiming numerous meetings between convention staff and leaders had occurred, and they felt 'confident in the security plan being developed.' At the center of security concerns was a First Amendment zone for protesters which initially would have allowed demonstrators to be within close proximity of convention-goers — something Republicans took issue with.
