Purse Of Empty Promises: Milwaukee Already Regrets Hosting RNC
When the RNC settled on Milwaukee to be the host for their 2024 convention, it came with promises of riches and windfalls worth billions of dollars. But much like when Trump came to Wisconsin and made grandiose promises about Foxconn which turned into so much dust, the Trumplican National Convention is also a fake bill of goods. It's turning out to be like their political promises, all empty.
There have been few to no bookings and reservations for many of the spots near the Fiserv Forum, where the convention is being held. And this is after these business had held their facilities from other bookings just for the convention:
"It's disappointing for us but I am, as always, more concerned about the city overall," said Gary Witt, CEO of the Pabst Theater Group. "After all that spiking the football that was done after getting the RNC, you're going to see that a lot of restaurants and bars and coffee shops are going to be impacted negatively."
