Governor Tim Walz announced on Friday that the National Guard will be providing support during the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This decision follows a state of emergency declaration by Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, who requested the assistance of the Minnesota National Guard according to KSTP.
Governor Walz expressed his gratitude towards the National Guard members, highlighting their readiness to assist not only within Minnesota but across the nation when needed. “I am immensely grateful to our Minnesota National Guard members,” Walz stated in a press release. “Their willingness to step up, whether in Minnesota or across the nation, is critical. Their support in Wisconsin will help ensure a safe, secure event.”
The 2024 Republican National Convention is a significant event, drawing attendees from across the country, and the presence of the Minnesota National Guard aims to enhance the safety and security of all participants.
Earlier this year, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers declared a state of emergency for the Republican National Convention to help with security.
