Trump dodges assassination attempt, heads to Milwaukee convention

A failed assassination attempt did not stop Donald Trump from attending the National Republican Convention. The former president has already arrived in Milwaukee. Meanwhile, the Secret Service has announced that it does not intend to change the security plan before the Republican Congress.

Donald Trump arrived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Sunday for the Republican Party convention, which will officially choose him as their candidate in the presidential election. The convention will start on Monday and last until Thursday.

Trump’s campaign confirmed that the National Republican Convention in Milwaukee will occur as planned.

"In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social shortly after the assassination attempt on Saturday.

Protection plans remain unchanged

The Secret Service informed on Sunday that it does not foresee tightening security plans during the National Republican Convention.

"We are fully prepared and have a comprehensive security plan in place and are ready to go," said Audrey Gibson-Cicchino, the Secret Service coordinator for the convention, at a press conference in Milwaukee. She added that they had been prepared for over 18 months.

Michael Hensle, the special agent in charge of the FBI field office in Milwaukee, said it has seen no known "specific and articulated threats" against the convention or anyone attending the event."
