Speaker Robin Vos on the RNC and 2024 presidential race

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.

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.
