Today is day two of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, and U.S. Reps. Mark Alford (R-Raymore) and Jason Smith (R-Salem) are two of the many Missouri Republicans in Milwaukee.

Convention delegates react to JD Vance pick: 'If Trump likes him, I love him'
MILWAUKEE — No moment at Monday's Republican National Convention was as highly anticipated as the running mate reveal. For weeks, rumors had flown about how former president Donald Trump would announce his vice president: Would he pull all the candidates onstage, and pick one? Would Donald Trump Jr. introduce him (or her)? It had a made-for-TV feel: "It's like a highly sophisticated version of The Apprentice," Trump said last week.

At the Republican convention: Their Lord and Savior ... and Donald Trump

I Expected the Republican National Convention to Be Dark and Tense. It’s Something Else Entirely.
As I arrived in Milwaukee a day after a 20-year-old tried to kill Donald Trump, I expected the mood to be tense. The first thing I saw downtown at 9 a.m. Monday outside the Republican National Convention was a large sign, placed by the city by a part of the road closed for construction, that read “Project Funded by President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.” Biden’s name had been scribbled out with black marker. I crossed one of the many small bridges that had been closed to vehicular traffic by law enforcement to secure the area where the convention was being held. Beneath the bridges, police boats patrolled the Milwaukee River. I held my breath as I approached the security checkpoint.
