— Nashville’s Metro Council is set to vote today on a framework agreement with the Republican National Committee in the city’s bid to host the 2024 Republican National Convention, and one council member says it may not pass.
“I feel tentatively confident that we’re going to be able to defeat it, but it’s not clear yet,” council member Bob Mendes said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics.com. “I’m going to vote against it, definitely voting against it.”
Nashville and Milwaukee are the two finalists to host the convention.
Milwaukee Ald. Michael Murphy said landing the RNC would be a boost for Milwaukee businesses.
“I will say we made a great case,” Murphy said. “I’m focused on the fact that this could really provide a lot of financial help for a lot of businesses in our community and a lot of residents who live in our city and work there, and it’s a huge economic increase for our city.”

— The Department of Health Services has announced the first confirmed case of orthopoxvirus in the state.
The case is presumed to be monkeypox. According to the DHS release, the patient was isolating and there is minimal risk to the general public. According to DHS as of Friday, there were 396 confirmed monkeypox and orthopoxvirus cases in the United States due to the outbreak.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ryan Westergaard said the case is not surprising considering the recent rise.
“While it’s likely that additional cases will be found among Wisconsinites, we are relieved that this disease does not spread easily from person to person,” Westergaard said in a statement. “We’d like for all clinicians to remain alert to patients with compatible rashes and encourage them to test for monkeypox. We want the public to know that the risk of widespread transmission remains low.”
