Trump made his first appearance at the RNC after the attempted assassination on him. He was officially named the Republican nominee for president.
MILWAUKEE — Two days after surviving an attempted assassination, former President Donald Trump appeared triumphantly at the Republican National Convention's opening night with athe latest compelling scene in a presidential campaign already defined by dramatic turns.
"We must unite as a party, and we must unite as a nation," said Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley, Trump's handpicked party leader, as he opened Monday's prime-time national convention session."We must show the same strength and resilience as President Trump and lead this nation to a greater future."
"We should all be thankful right now that we are able to cast our votes for President Donald J. Trump after what took place on Saturday," said New Jersey state Sen. Michael Testa as he announced all of his state's 12 delegates for Trump. On a night devoted to the economy, delegates and a national TV audience heard from speakers the Trump campaign pitched as"everyday Americans" — a single mother talking about inflation, a union member who identified himself as a lifelong Democrat now backing Trump, a small business owner, among others.
Scott, perhaps the party's most well-known Black lawmaker, declared,"America is not a racist country."Trump announced his choice of his running mate as delegates were voting on the former president's nomination Monday. The young Ohio senator first rose to national attention with his bestselling memoir,"Hillbilly Elegy," which told of his Appalachian upbringing and was hailed as a window into the parts of working-class America that helped propel Trump.
