Tudor Dixon previews what to expect at Trump's first campaign rally since assassination attempt
MILWAUKEE – Former Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon will be in attendance at former President Trump’s highly anticipated rally in Michigan on Saturday and she revealed what she expects to see in the wake of the failed attempt on his life.
“I think we feel good because it’s inside, and so I feel like there’s more control when it’s inside, when you’re inside a building like that,” Dixon said during an interview with Fox News Digital, referring to safety concerns for the event.
“So I feel like there’s going to be a lot of eyeballs on the Secret Service. Obviously, they’re going to change their protocols and make sure there’s as much as possible. If you look around here [the RNC Convention], everybody has to feel secure. Every time you turn around. There’s not just a police officers, there’s a group of police officers or the Secret Service around the perimeter. So I feel like we are incredibly safe.“
Dixon said she expects to hear a speech centered around unity and the appeal of newly nominated vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who will be speaking at the rally in Grand Rapids.

“It’ll be so exciting to have him and J.D. Vance in Michigan for their first rally after the announcement that he is the vice presidential nominee,” Dixon said. “I think it’s going to be a message of unity, but I think it’s also going to be a strong message for manufacturing in the Midwest with J.D.”
Dixon said that Vance helps form an “incredibly strong ticket” that will be a “very big challenge” for Democrats in swing states.

” I just overall think that they’re seeing a lot of support for the Republican Party amongst young people,” Dixon said. “That’s always been their demographic, and they’re losing it right now, so they’re getting pretty desperate.”
Trump plans to hold the rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on July 20 with Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, whom the former president chose as his running mate Monday, marking his first campaign appearance with Vance as his vice presidential candidate.

BISMARCK — Vice President
JD Vance
is expected to visit North Dakota on the Fourth of July.
Dickinson Mayor Scott Decker told the Tribune that “my understanding is, yes, he’s going to visit Dickinson and southwest North Dakota.”
“I know that his intention is to be here tomorrow morning, and so we’re going through, you know, security protocols, to provide that opportunity for him,” Decker said Thursday.
He referred other questions to the vice president’s office, which did not immediately respond to a Tribune request for comment.
Other local, state and federal officials on Thursday were mum about the anticipated visit, either not commenting publicly or not responding to Tribune requests for comment.
North Dakota Highway Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Jenna Clawson Huibregtse said, “The Highway Patrol does not provide trip plan information or information related to security for dignitaries in North Dakota due to security concerns.”
Officials from the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation and the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation did not immediately respond to Tribune requests for comment.
Dickinson is near the tourist town of Medora, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the Badlands and the Roosevelt Presidential Library
under construction.
Federal Aviation Administration records showed “temporary flight restrictions for VIP movement” in the area of the Dickinson airport for much of the day Friday, banning other aircraft.
Similar restrictions were in place around the Rapid City, South Dakota, airport for Thursday. Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun confirmed to the
Rapid City Journal
that Vance was visiting the Black Hills. He said he didn’t have details.
The flight restrictions in Rapid City were to be lifted at 9:30 a.m. Mountain time on Friday. They were scheduled to take effect around the Dickinson airport at 8:45 a.m. MT on Friday.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – Thursday marked a big win for Wisconsin film and television production crews, with new industry investments being offered as a part of the Wisconsin state budget.
The budget allocates funds to establishing a state film office along with tax credits for those who film or produce their projects within the state. Those in support of the investments say they’re hoping the new incentives will help put Wisconsin filmmaking on the map.

“So, the arts in Wisconsin have been kind of historically under-funded, and I think that overall, this is a really important and exciting moment in history in the state of Wisconsin,” said documentary filmmaker Paige Grube.
With the budget’s passing, regional non-profit Action Wisconsin says the state will offer $5 million in tax credits during each fiscal year.

A Chicago suburb’s former Democratic “super mayor” is facing yet another legal hurdle after failing to produce public records from her time in office after being held in contempt of court earlier this month.
In a hearing on Friday, Tiffany Henyard’s attorney Beau Bridley pleaded the Fifth on his client’s behalf after she was ordered to hand over public records from her time in office.
“The smear campaign against Tiffany Henyard, which began while she was in office, continues even now that she is out of office,” Bridley said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Bridley conceded that the former mayor does not have the requested document, with an Illinois judge allowing Henyard’s legal team to submit an affidavit in its place.
“The mayor has no document that the plaintiff seeks,” Bridley said. “This matter is going to be resolved with a simple affidavit. The whole hearing was much ado about nothing.”
The hearing stems from a lawsuit filed by the Edgar County Watchdogs Inc., after the organization sued Henyard and the Village of Dolton for failing to produce financial records after the documents were requested under the Freedom of Information Act.

“We had little doubt Ms. Henyard would use losing the election as an excuse not to produce the documents,” Edward “Coach” Weinhaus, attorney for Edgar County Watchdogs, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Invoking the Fifth Amendment for a criminal investigation was an added wrinkle. The Watchdogs will keep looking for the documents even if the voters might have inadvertently thrown out the documents with the mayor.”
The embattled former mayor was unseated after losing her re-election bid to Jason House, who was sworn in last month. Henyard was also defeated by Illinois state Sen. Napoleon Harris in her attempt to keep her seat as Thornton Township supervisor.
Henyard was thrust into the national spotlight in April 2024 after officials at Dolton Village Hall were served subpoenas from the FBI following a corruption investigation, FOX 32 Chicago reported. Henyard, however, was not charged with a crime.

In response to the FBI looking into Henyard’s administration, village trustees voted to hire former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate the former mayor’s spending. At the initial vote, supporters of Henyard clashed with her opponents as the meeting spiraled into a screaming match between groups.
Lightfoot’s investigation reportedly revealed the village’s fund fell from its initial $5.6 million balance to a $3.6 million deficit, with the local government’s credit card bills accumulating a whopping $779,000 balance in 2023.
On the day Henyard lost the mayoral primary, the Village of Dolton was reportedly slapped with a federal subpoena as officials demanded records tied to a land development allegedly tied to Henyard’s boyfriend.
Henyard is required to return for a hearing on June 11, with a judge set to decide if she is to remain in contempt of court while being fined $1,000 per day.
