This week marks the 2024 Republican National Convention, as the political world turns its eyes to Wisconsin, where former President Donald Trump will officially receive his party’s nomination.
Trump was injured Saturday when a gunman opened fire at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, killing one person and seriously wounding two others.
This violent act will undoubtedly have consequences for how Congress proceeds in the coming days, as Republicans will likely have to navigate tightly controlled security operations and altered speeches as they convene in Wisconsin.
So when is the convention? Who will address the delegates? Here’s everything you need to know about this week’s event.
When will the conference take place?
The convention officially kicks off on Monday, with two sessions at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Additional sessions are scheduled for Tuesday through Thursday, with the final day expected to be the day Trump officially delivers his speech after securing the nomination.
During his press conference on Sunday following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden revealed that he has directed the Secret Service to review all security measures ahead of the Republic National Convention that starts Monday in Milwaukee.

Who will be Trump’s running mate?
With Congress starting Monday, it is still unclear who Trump’s running mate will be, nor when that announcement will be made.
There are widely believed to be four leading candidates for the role, including Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.
North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is also said to be in the running to be nominated for the vice presidency.
Democrats and Republicans expressed concern after the shooting at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.

Trump’s former presidential rivals are all expected to speak, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson have also secured speaking time.
A full list of expected speakers can be found in the NBC Chicago app.
What changes are happening in security after Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Trump?
Security around Congress is expected to be tighter than ever after Saturday’s assassination attempt, but Republican officials told NBC News there are no plans to curtail that week’s events because of the shooting.
President Joe Biden has ordered a thorough review of all security measures for the event and has directed the Secret Service to investigate how protective protocols were enforced on Saturday.
Police officers from across the Midwest will assist Milwaukee authorities in securing the event, which has been declared a national special security event, freeing up additional resources for the Department of Homeland Security.
Where can I find the Republican Party’s 2024 platform?
The Republican 2024 platform includes many policies supported by Trump, with an emphasis on cutting spending, securing the southern border and a host of other issues.
The full platform can be found on the UC Santa Barbara American Presidency Project website.
What daily themes are highlighted during the conference?
The Republican National Committee released a list of four daily “themes” that will be addressed during the four-day event.
Monday’s meeting will begin with “Make America Wealthy Once Again,” focusing on economic policy, regulatory cuts and revised trade deals, the GOP said.
Tuesday is all about “Make America Safe Once Again,” with Trump’s proposals to strengthen law enforcement and combat drug and human trafficking.
Wednesday’s theme is “Make America Strong Once Again,” with an emphasis on foreign policy advocated by Trump’s campaign.
Thursday’s theme is “Make America Great Once Again,” culminating in Trump’s speech to congressional delegates.
