Milwaukee? Oh man that is a mistake. The place/area is a hotbed for BLM and Antifa types. RNC chose poorly.

The Republican National Committee on Friday will formally name Milwaukee as the host city for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominating convention.
The vote by all 168 RNC committee members will take place as the national party committee holds the final session of its annual summer meeting, which is being held this year in Chicago.
"We are very excited about Milwaukee," RNC chair Ronna McDaniel emphasized in a Fox News Digital interview on the eve of the vote.
Milwaukee and Nashville, Tennessee were the final two cities among a large list that were initially in contention to host the 2024 Republican National Convention. However, Tennessee’s capital city fell out of contention on Tuesday night as Nashville’s Metro Council voted down a draft agreement to host the convention.

RNC officially picks Milwaukee for 2024 convention
by Brett Samuels - 08/05/22 12:49 PM ET
The GOP will host its 2024 national convention in Milwaukee, the party announced Friday following a unanimous vote by the Republican National Committee.
“Milwaukee is a world-class city, and we are eager to see it shine in the spotlight come 2024,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tweeted after the vote.
The announcement makes Milwaukee a convention host for the second straight presidential election cycle. Democrats planned to host their convention there in 2020 but ultimately decided to hold much of the event virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The convention will feature speeches from major party figures and will culminate in the formal nomination of the Republican Party’s ticket for the 2024 presidential election.
Wisconsin is typically a key swing state and will likely be one again in 2024.
