MILWAUKEE — Like the candidates, the city of Milwuaukee is preparing for its night in the spotlight on Wednesday.
The first GOP debate is being hosted downtown at the 18,000-seat Fiserv Forum, home of the 2021 NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks. It'll be filled with eight candidates hoping to be crowned champions in their own right, though the front-runner, former President Donald Trump, is skipping the proceedings.
They were reluctant to be interviewed but did offer a few anecdotes when approached by the Washington Examiner. Some of that Democratic lean could be felt at Veterans Park, a public gathering spot with a marina located on the shore of Lake Michigan, just over a mile from Fiserv Forum. "Having lived in Milwaukee for over 40 years, it's a great city, and to show it off, whether it's the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, I think it's a good thing," said one Milwaukee resident who plans to have pizza and play Yahtzee with friends rather than watch the debate.
