GOP nominee Donald Trump takes the stage at night 1 of the RNC. He was seen with a bandage covering his ear days after the attempted assassination at his Pennsylvania rally.
as musician Lee Greenwood sang “God Bless the USA” before taking a seat in the family box to the side of the stage.that it was a “mistake” to say he wanted to put a “bull’s-eye” on Trump, but argued that the rhetoric from his opponent was more incendiary.“Is there any doubt who’s going to be the next president of the United States? Prayer works,” Greenwood said when he took the stage.
“I actually understand a little bit what people are going through,” Vance told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “Yeah, it was tough when I was dealing with it, but now I really do think it’s a blessing that’s given me a perspective a lot of politicians don’t have.”Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and his wife Usha Chilukuri Vance arrive on the floor during the first day of the 2024 Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum, Monday, July 15, 2024, in Milwaukee.
Vance met Usha at Yale, where she received both her undergraduate and law degrees. She spent a year clerking for Justice Brett Kavanaugh when he served as an appeals court judge in Washington, followed by a year as a law clerk to Chief Justice John Roberts.The streets of downtown Milwaukee were largely quiet Monday evening, with most of the day’s protests wrapping up earlier in the afternoon.
U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Trump’s case, siding with defense attorneys and ruling the special counsel named to the case had been illegally appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The Justice Department will appeal the decision. Biden called last month’s debate a bad night but said he’d done a series of events around the country since then.
A sniper cut down 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks within seconds of him firing an AR-style rifle toward the former president, but it was too late. Now investigators are trying to painstakingly piece together how an armed man with no military background managed to reach high ground and get the jump on teams of Secret Service agents.In an NBC interview airing Monday night, he said that reporters should be focused on Trump’s lies, not on whether or not he’s running for office.
“Prior to this week, we already knew that Donald Trump was a fighter,” Noem said. But on Saturday, she said, “Even in the most perilous moment this week, his instinct was to stand and to fight.”Noem also praised Trump by harkening back to one of the most chaotic parts of his presidency, his management of the pandemic. She said Trump “let me do my job and he let me keep my people free.”
While gas prices did hit more than $5 a gallon nationally in June 2022. A number of factors drove those prices, including rising global oil prices, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions by the U.S. and its allies. Prices have fallen since then. Gas prices nationally have remained below $4 a gallon since August 2023. According to the AAA, the current average price for regular gas is about $3.50 a gallon.
Sen. Tim Scott, a former presidential candidate himself, put the attempt and the result in starkly Biblical terms Monday night and turned it quickly into a bit of civil religion with praise for Trump. “On Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle,” Scott said, referencing the Pennsylvania rally shooting, adding of Trump: “But an American lion got back up on his feet and he roared.”
Republican leaders are calling for unity and many are joining bipartisan calls to tone down the political rhetoric in America. But one of the first prime-time speakers at the Republican National Convention’s opening night session is among the party’s most incendiary voices. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Alabama, said that under Biden “our lives are that much more difficult and way more expensive.”
“I know very little about him other than he was in the military and of course is a congressman — I think he’s a senator, actually. But I know ver little about him.” “They promised unity and delivered division,” Greene said. “They promised peace and brought war. They promised normalcy and gave us Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday.”Transgender Day of Visibility has been celebrated on March 31, which this year fell on Easter Sunday and prompted an uproar on the right. Easter is determined by the lunar calendar and can fall on a different day each year.The U.S. economy is a diverse and sprawling behemoth.
Delegates had about an hour break after Monday’s organizing session, where they held a roll call to approve Trump as their official nominee.Trump is expected to attend on Monday night but is not planning to speak to delegates until later in the week.Tiffany Trump, Eric Trump, Lara Trump and Donald Trump Jr., smile as they watch the roll call of states during the Republican National Convention Monday, July 15, 2024, in Milwaukee.
Biden has sat for a series of interviews lately, trying to reassure Democrats who are nervous that he’s not up to a second term after a halting debate performance late last month. But perhaps underscoring the 39-year-old senator’s relative youth, Kemp added, “I don’t know that much about him” because he is one of the few contenders “that I really haven’t crossed paths with.”
Stein called for a reduction in military spending and investments in public education, social housing and health care, adding that Americans were clamoring for a true third-party candidate on the ballot. Michigan Republicans know what they’ve seen of him on Fox News, but have not had him in Michigan for fundraisers, like other former running mate prospects like South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Hoekstra said.
