Republicans are deciding whether to hold their presidential nominating convention in 2024 in Milwaukee, the largest Democratic stronghold in battleground Wisconsin, or in Nashville, Tennessee, a Democratic city in a GOP-controlled state
FILE - Milwaukee's skyline along Lake Michigan is seen in this Feb. 8, 2019. Republicans are deciding whether to nominate their 2024 presidential candidate in Milwaukee, the largest Democratic stronghold in battleground Wisconsin, or in Nashville, a blue city in a deep red state. .
Former President Donald beat Biden by 23 percentage points in Tennessee, while Biden won Nashville by 32 points. But state GOP Chairman Scott Golden said choosing Nashville would let Republicans highlight a GOP state that has continued to grow even through the pandemic, while attributing successes to business-friendly state tax policies, including no personal income tax.
Wisconsin counters that the 2024 gathering, just like the past three Republican conventions, should be in a crucial swing state. Boosters are playing up the opportunity, with Democrats like Crowley joining Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and Reince Priebus — a onetime Trump White House chief of staff and former RNC head — making the pitch.
Woodall-Vogg told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that her tweet was “an ill attempt at some dark humor given that I get death threats that are fueled by the 2020 presidential election.” Like other conflicted Democrats, she said she would welcome the convention for its positive economic impact.
