The flight of any kind of drone was prohibited in the area – 4,500 security forces are being recruited in the area
The day after his assassination attempt, Donald Trump expects to receive the formal anointing of his party and be its candidate in the presidential election in November at the Republican convention, which begins today in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and is expected to conclude on Thursday.
Here are some key numbers for the convention, among the most important events of this election year.
50,000: Participants expected at the conference, at the Fiserv Forum stadium, according to the city of Milwaukee.
2,400: The delegates who will anoint the presidential candidate and his/her vice-presidential candidate. Also present are thousands of journalists — and police, including Secret Service agents, just in case there are protests and riots.
15,000: The bags of material prepared for journalists by the group “Visit Milwaukee”, dedicated to promoting tourism in the city washed by Lake Michigan.
4,500: Security forces members will be brought in from elsewhere to assist local police, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. They will travel from other parts of Wisconsin, as well as from other states, to guarantee the security of the convention, in which the figure that will undoubtedly dominate is that of the former president. The Secret Service, the federal agency of elite police officers who guarantee the protection of political figures, does not plan to “modify its plans” and declares that it is “absolutely ready” to guarantee the security of the congress and the former president. The flight of any kind of drone was prohibited in the area.
85,000,000: The dollar amount she announced the convention organizing committee was able to raise was a “record,” she said, for the highest amount ever secured for any convention of the American right-wing party. The costs include room rentals, transportation and the reception, opening and closing events of the conference.
200,000,000: The money the Visit Milwaukee committee expects will be collected in the city and have a “direct, indirect or secondary” connection to the convention. It mainly concerns amounts that will be spent on hotels, restaurants, car rentals, and more broadly the increase in activity due to the Republican convention.
100,000: The number of white, red and blue balloons — the colors of the American national symbol — that will drop when Donald Trump is announced by congressmen on Thursday. “It’s not a national political convention without balloons!” as the Visit Milwaukee committee put it.
