The Republican National Convention is underway in Milwaukee.
The city of beers and brats was supposed to host the Democratic convention four years ago, but the in-person gathering was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This time, the event comes on the heels of Saturday’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump, who, undeterred, arrived to formally claim the GOP nomination for president.
