The Republican National Convention is being held this week in Milwaukee. 

Republican National Convention

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention, following an assassination attempt at a campaign rally that resulted in a bystander's death. The U.S. Secret Service has assured the public of the safety measures in place. This convention marks a significant event in Trump's political history, as the former president prepares to address thousands of delegates.

The convention, set against the backdrop of the recent incident, will focus heavily on Trump's influence within the Republican Party. Trump's previous acceptance of the presidential nomination was a COVID-restricted event held at the White House. Now, with a sizeable audience of delegates, the convention highlights his continued dominance over the party.

Milwaukee has been designated as a critical location for the Republicans as they aim to regain control of the White House. This four-day event serves as a platform to promote the party's policies, introduce new talents, and rally the base. Swing states like Wisconsin, where Milwaukee is located, often play pivotal roles in U.S. elections.

Trump's presence at the convention underscores the party's shift towards his political ideology. Delegates are likely to support claims regarding the 2020 election results and advocate for Trump's policies. Despite Trump's controversial position as a convicted felon running for president, he remains a central figure in the Republican Party.

The party's platform for the event is concise, consisting of just 16 pages, possibly to avoid extensive scrutiny and criticism from the Democrats. The language used by Trump and other Republicans at the convention is anticipated to lean towards the far right, reflecting the current ideological stance of the party. While protests are expected, they are not anticipated to impact Trump's acceptance of the party's nomination for his third presidential run.



Trump arrives in Milwaukee for Republican National Convention

This Republican convention will be different. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump will dominate conversations, proceedings, and speeches from the platform. Four years ago, Donald Trump accepted the nomination as president. That was at the White House, at a COVID-restricted event. I profoundly accept this nomination for president of the United States. This time, he will be in front of thousands of adoring delegates from across the country. People who waited and worried at the weekend. Confirmation of his domination of one of America's oldest political parties. The Republican Party has been remade a couple times in the image of Trump. But as it stands right now, the party is completely his. He has not only got his thumbprint on the party platform, he has managed to get people to see things his way. Republicans say Milwaukee is ground zero in reclaiming the White House. A primetime show extolling the virtues of the 45th president and his policies. It is a four-day commercial for the party. It allows them to make their affirmative case for what they do. It allows them to attack the other side. It allows them to introduce new talent to the American people in primetime. And it gives them a chance to try to shore up excitement amongst the base. Republicans tend to pick swing states for the conventions. States that are so close they could decide the election. When Donald Trump first won the party's nomination, the event was in Ohio. He's not the first former president to run again after losing an election. He is the first to run as a convicted felon. Expect delegates to argue without evidence the 2020 election was stolen. That Donald Trump was the best president in history, that people want change. What won't be talked about loudly will be the party's platform, its election manifesto. Just 16 pages long, it's limited in detail to avoid giving Democrats room to criticize Trump's plans if he were to win. The language that Trump or any other Republican candidate should use to try to get that centrist vote, it's simply not there. So it is a very accurate statement to make that this Republican party is more far right than ever before in modern history. There will be protests here, but nothing that will stop Donald Trump accepting the acclaim of his party or his third presidential run in eight years.
