Several Republican governors, including former presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, are set to attend the Southern States Fest next week in Milwaukee, coinciding with the Republican National Convention in the city. The event will feature honorary guests such as Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The Southern States Fest is scheduled for July 17 from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and will take place at the American Family Field stadium. While DeSantis will not have a speaking role at the RNC convention, he will participate in a Moms for Liberty town hall discussion on July 16 in Milwaukee. Joining him at the town hall will be Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, and Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill.
