Speaker Robin Vos on the RNC and 2024 presidential race
So what brings you out to the Republican National Convention?. So I've been to every convention since 1996. I've traveled across the country watching politics kind of from up close. This is the political epicenter for the week that it's here. I am incredibly proud that it is in Wisconsin. They have worked really hard to make this an excellent convention and if you ask, I think I've probably talked to delegates from half the country, and the thing that makes me the most proud is that, Wisconsin, nice is real. I have heard from all these delegates. They love Milwaukee. People have been friendly. The venue's been great. Weather's been spectacular, so I think that the organizers and, frankly, the party in the state has done a great job of showing the best that Wisconsin has to offer.
