The Republican National Committee is hyping its upcoming convention in Milwaukee, at which former President Donald Trump is expected to be officially nominated as the 2024 Republican presidential candidate.
The start of the convention is 10 days away, scheduled to begin on July 15 and last through July 18. The RNC prepared a short video hyping the three-day event that was first obtained by The Daily Wire.
The video is about 15 seconds long and is narrated by Republican Rep. Bryan Steil of Wisconsin. It features scenic video of Milwaukee, images of preparations taking place at the convention center, footage from Trump’s campaign, along with other images.
“Our nation’s at a crossroad and in July, Wisconsin will be in the driver’s seat. See you in Milwaukee,” Steil says as the shots flash by.
The convention is expected to attract 50,000 delegates, officials, and other guests. Roughly 10,000 hotel rooms have been booked in Wisconsin to accommodate the attendees. According to one estimate, the event’s economic impact is expected to be around $200 million for the state of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin is shaping up to be a key battleground state in the 2024 presidential race. Trump currently has a slight edge over President Joe Biden, whose campaign has struggled to overcome a wave of opposition from Democrats after his feeble debate performance last week. Trump is running two points ahead of Biden in the Real Clear Politics polling average for Wisconsin. The latest poll, conducted by Remington Research after last week’s debate, showed Trump leading Biden in the state by 6 points.
Trump is expected to name his vice presidential choice either just ahead of the convention or during it. He has teased his pick for weeks leading up to the event. The reported finalists for the spot include North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is also reportedly in contention, though his position is complicated by laws surrounding the residency of the president and vice president. Rubio would have to establish his residence outside of the state of Florida. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas have also been mentioned.
