A day after a shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, the Republican National Convention (RNC) started on Monday with tight security measures. The shooting incident, which was a foiled assassination attempt on Trump, resulted in the suspect’s death and one attendee being injured. This event has sparked immense public interest, as seen in the surge of searches on Google Trends.
Trump is scheduled to formally accept the nomination for president and deliver his acceptance speech at the Fiserv Forum in downtown Milwaukee on July 18. Before this, he plans to announce his vice-presidential candidate the day before. Over 2,400 elected delegates from across the country will gather to show their support for Trump through their votes.
A joint statement from the RNC confirmed that Donald Trump would be nominated to serve as the 47th President of the United States. This announcement has attracted significant attention, especially after conspiracy theories regarding the assassination attempt started spreading, contributing to public curiosity and concern.
In response to the increased security needs for the convention, security forces from multiple states have been mobilized. Governor Gavin Newsom of California expressed his support, stating, “Public safety transcends party lines.
California is proud to support our law enforcement colleagues in Wisconsin during this important political event. Working together, we are helping to provide a safe and secure environment for all participants at the Republican National Convention.”
The Secret Service has assured the public that there will be no changes to their security plans for the event following the assassination attempt. Audrey Gibson-Cicchino, the Secret Service’s RNC coordinator, mentioned that security preparations have been ongoing for 18 months and that the event has been designated the highest level of security.
As the RNC proceeds, the case of the assassination attempt continues to draw significant attention, reflecting the latest spikes on Google Trends. This indicates widespread public interest and concern surrounding the incident and the upcoming political events.
