Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson on Friday hailed the Republican National Convention as a success “by many measures,” though he admitted that there are lessons to be learned from the city’s first full-scale major political event.
Johnson said the city triumphed in staging an event the “size, caliber and magnitude” of the four-day RNC, which took place four years after the COVID-19 pandemic thwarted Milwaukee’s plans to host a full-scale Democratic National Convention.
Milwaukee Ald. Robert Bauman, though, offered a different assessment.
