Former President Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee say the party's convention will 'proceed' following the assassination attempt at the former president's rally in Pennsylvania.
MILWAUKEE, WI – Former President Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee have emphasized that the party's convention will 'proceed' following the assassination attempt on the former president at his rally in Pennsylvania. But Trump's top two political advisers are telling staff to stay away from campaign offices as the locations are assessed and armed security is enhanced.
The Republican National Convention, where Trump will be formally nominated as the GOP's 2024 standard-bearer, is scheduled to kick off on Monday in Milwaukee, the largest city in swing-state Wisconsin. Wiles and LaCivita on Sunday morning reiterated in a statement that 'the RNC Convention will continue as planned in Milwaukee, where we will nominate our President to be the brave and fearless nominee of our Party.
Intense security measures common at the two major political parties' national nominating conventions – including massive federal, state and local law enforcement presence, many blocks of street closures in all directions, including K-rail barriers and metal barricades – were already in place before the attempted assassination of Trump.
