"Milwaukee is a world-class city, and we are eager to see it
shine in the spotlight come 2024," Republican National Committee
Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said on Twitter.
In 2016, Republican Donald Trump won Wisconsin by fewer than
25,000 votes out of 2.8 million cast in his successful bid for
the presidency. Four years later, Democrat Joe Biden carried the
state by fewer than 21,000 votes out of 3.2 million cast.
Trump has hinted he will run for president again in 2024 but has
stopped short of announcing his candidacy.
In 2020, Democrats' plans to hold their nominating convention in
Milwaukee were upended by concerns about the coronavirus,
resulting in a largely virtual event. Democrats have not yet
selected a site for their 2024 convention.
Recent U.S. presidential elections have come down to the results
in a small number of states, such as Wisconsin, which are
closely contested.
