Life Goes On: The Republican Convention Moves Forward

In the aftermath of a shocking assassination attempt on Former President Donald Trump, Republicans gathered in Milwaukee on Monday for what promises to be a historic national convention. Despite concerns about safety, organizers insist they've taken every precautionary measure necessary to ensure attendee well-being.

According to US Secret Service officials, there are currently no credible threats or plans to extend existing perimeters around the event site. In fact, according to RNC Chair Michael Whatley, who was quoted on 'Fox News Sunday', "The arena's set, the security is here, and we feel very comfortable that we're working with the Secret Service." Furthermore, Whatley assured potential attendees that "This is going to be a facility where we're going to be able to have 50,000 delegates and alternates and guests and members of the media who are going to be here and who are going to be safe. That's very critical for us."

Despite sustaining injuries in the attack, including a graze wound above his left eyebrow, Trump remains resolute in pushing forward with planned events. On Sunday evening, via social media, Trump declared he would proceed with attending the conference without letting fear dictate otherwise.
