The city of Milwaukee had planned to host protesters in Pere Marquette Park, but the RNC insists on relocating them to prevent heightened tensions and ensure the safety of convention attendees.

Trump's dissatisfaction with RNC leadership led to a turnover in staff and a shift in operations to Palm Beach, Florida.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission. Former President Donald Trump is set to hold a campaign rally in the South Bronx on Thursday, an audacious statement of intent in a borough that hasnt backed a Republican for the White House in 100 years. Not since Calvin Coolidge won every Empire State county in 1920 and 1924 has a GOP candidate won the Bronx and Trump is unlikely to break that trend having failed to reach 10% support in 2016 and barely reaching 15% four years ago. However, the Trump campaign insists Thursday evenings event in Crotona Park for a crowd of up to 3,500 people is in keeping with how the 77-year-olds team has been utilizing New York City throughout the hush money trial that has kept Trump cooped up in a Manhattan courtroom for weeks and is part of a larger strategy for the 45th president to reach out to traditionally Democrat voters.
