The full Republican National Committee must approve the choice during its summer meeting in Chicago, Aug. 2-5.
“Since day one, Milwaukee’s leadership and business community have put their city before politics and welcomed the RNC,” a source familiar with the process said.
In a statement, RNC Senior Advisor Richard Walters said: “Today, the Site Selection Committee voted to recommend Milwaukee to host the 2024 Republican National Convention and it is a testament to the forthright and professional behavior embraced by Milwaukee’s city leaders throughout the process. A final decision will be made by Chairwoman McDaniel and the full RNC in the coming weeks,” he said.
Nashville was the other finalist, and could still be selected by the full RNC. But its bid stalled earlier this month when a framework agreement to host the event was pulled before a vote in the City Council.
