"Protests and Security Mark Start of 2024 RNC in Milwaukee"

The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee is facing complications due to the presence of several participants linked to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and election denial efforts. Despite attempts to focus on issues like the economy, crime, and immigration, the involvement of these individuals and the shadow of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election are proving difficult to avoid. The convention's organizers and Trump's advisers are trying to steer clear of Jan. 6-related topics, but the issue remains a contentious point, drawing criticism from Democrats and complicating the party's messaging.
