Harley-Davidson draws attention and its museum will be the site of an event for GOP delegates as the Republican National Convention rolls into the motorcycle company's hometown of Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is America's hog heaven. The city celebrates its status as the birthplace of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a high-powered global symbol of American freedom, as the GOP Convention shortly rolls into town. Delegates to the Republican National Convention say they're fueled by positive vibes and energy — and some plan to make the Harley-Davidson Museum a key stop during the celebrations and events.
Milwaukee 'isn’t necessarily a place where many of our delegates have been before,' Jessica Patterson, chair of the California GOP, said in a release, adding that she wants delegates to get a feel for Milwaukee's history and culture. Among other stops, the California delegation’s tour of Milwaukee history will include a luncheon at the Harley-Davidson Museum, according to the release. Fox News Digital reached out to the company and to the museum for additional comment.
The Republican Party held its first national convention in Pittsburgh in 1856. Then, at its next national convention, it nominated Abraham Lincoln for president in 1860. All told, the RNC is expected to bring more than 50,000 visitors to Milwaukee, according to the city itself. The convention runs from Monday, July 15, 2024, to Thursday, July 18, 2024.
