CBS to Provide Live Coverage

The 2024 Republican National Convention gets underway in Milwaukee on Monday, just two days after an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The convention will be held at the Fiserv Forum, and CBS Television Network will provide live coverage beginning at 10 pm ET.

The convention kickoff comes amidst heightened security concerns following the attack on Trump. The Secret Service has reportedly increased its presence in Milwaukee, and the city has implemented additional security measures.

The assassination attempt has cast a shadow over the convention, which is expected to draw thousands of delegates and attendees. The motive for the attack remains unclear, and investigators are still searching for the suspect.

Despite the security concerns, organizers are determined to put on a successful convention. They have vowed to provide a safe and secure environment for all attendees. The convention is expected to feature speeches from a wide range of Republican leaders, including Trump and other potential presidential candidates.

The Republican National Convention is a major event on the political calendar. It is a chance for the party to showcase its platform and its candidates, and to build momentum for the upcoming election. The convention will be closely watched by political observers and voters alike.
