The Alaska delegation is on the floor of the Republican National Convention, which opened this afternoon in Milwaukee, Wisc.
In the photo above, sent to Must Read Alaska by congressional candidate Nick Begich, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy can be seen next to Alaska Republican Party Chairwoman Carmela Warfield. Also spotted in the photo are Cheryl Markwood, Patty Wisel, and Rep. Jamie Allard.
The first order of business for the day has been adopting rules for convention, determining the convention’s chair, and adopting the platform for the party. And the big news is that Donald Trump told Fox News he will announce his vice presidential pick today.
Fox News is reporting it is not Gov. Doug Burgum or Sen. Marco Rubio. Rumors are swirling that it may be J.D. Vance, and a motorcade was seen leaving his home this morning. Trump is supposedly meeting with Robert Kennedy Jr. this morning, according to Benny Johnson.

Trump just announced on his social media account.
What time does the ferry leave Wrangell, again? Nancy and I want to go to Milwaukee. Afterwards, we will go visit Lisa and House Husband at Liz Cheney’s home in Wyoming.
Dick is waiting.
If it’s anything like Juneau, the ferry leaves at the least convenient time of the day.
Dick can wait. I’m trying to get back into the National Republican Women’s coffee circuits.
Wrangell has lousy coffee.
I predict that that Vice President Kamala Harris will do anything and everything to avoid debating Senator Vance. Senator Vance is legitimately intelligent and well-educated and a United States Marine. Never in the history of America have two candidates for Vice President been so mismatched.
