Donald Trump and JD Vance Attend Republican National Convention in Milwaukee
The Republican National Convention kicked off in Milwaukee with former President Donald Trump and his vice president pick, JD Vance. This marked Trump’s first public appearance since an attempted assassination on Saturday. He appeared with a bandage over his right ear and was warmly greeted by his family, allies, and cheering delegates.
Trump had considered postponing his trip but decided against it, stating, ‘I cannot allow a shooter or potential assassin to force change scheduling or anything else.’
JD Vance, the 39-year-old junior senator from Ohio, was officially nominated as the vice presidential candidate. He greeted the delegates with his wife, Usha Vance, and is set to address the convention on Wednesday evening.
The Republican Party plans to adopt a new platform that softens its language on abortion, proposes a missile defense shield, promises tax cuts, and calls for mass deportations of illegal immigrants. The convention, which will host around 50,000 attendees, features daily themes such as ‘Make America Wealthy Again’ and ‘Make America Safe Again.’
High-profile speakers, including Donald Trump Jr. and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, are scheduled to speak. Haley, initially expected to skip the event, will now attend and speak following the assassination attempt on Trump. Former Republican leaders like George Bush, Mike Pence, and Mitt Romney are not on the guest list.
The convention is a formality for Trump, who has already secured enough delegates for the nomination. He is expected to deliver his speech on Thursday night.
