Former President Donald Trump is set to attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, just two days after surviving an assassination attempt. RNC chair Michael Whatley, co-chair Lara Trump, and Trump advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita released a joint statement confirming Trump’s participation in the convention. They expressed Trump’s eagerness to share his vision of “Making America Great Again” as the party’s nominee for the 47th President of the United States.
The assassination attempt occurred during Trump’s final rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was shot in the ear. Despite the incident, Trump displayed resilience by raising his fist in the air as he was escorted to his motorcade. He was promptly taken to a nearby hospital for a medical checkup. Tragically, one rally attendee lost their life, while the Secret Service neutralized the gunman.
The specific days on which Trump will speak at the convention remain undisclosed. However, the event is expected to be packed with speakers and activities that will extend into the night. Additionally, Trump is anticipated to announce his vice presidential pick during the convention.
The City of Milwaukee is preparing for over 50,000 delegates, media personnel, law enforcement, staff, and visitors to attend the convention and its related activities. Security measures, including a blocked-off area around the Milwaukee RNC center, will be implemented to ensure the safety of attendees. While protests are expected, it is unclear whether security will be further heightened in response to the shooting.
Given the assassination attempt, some speakers may revise their planned remarks on the RNC floor. Although speeches have already been submitted to Republican Party leadership, several individuals have expressed a desire to address the dramatic news.
Following the incident, Trump’s spokesperson, Steven Cheung, assured the public that the former president was in good health and undergoing a medical checkup at the hospital. Trump himself later confirmed that he had been shot in the upper part of his right ear, describing the immediate realization of the danger he faced. He expressed condolences for the fatally shot rally attendee and the injured individual, while also expressing gratitude towards the Secret Service and local law enforcement.
As the convention approaches, authorities are expected to implement enhanced security protocols both within the venue and throughout Milwaukee, considering the safety of all attendees and the potential threat of copycat actions.
