As the Republican National Committee kicks off just two days after former President Trump, the GOP's standard-bearer, survived an assassination attempt, a running mate announcement is expected
MILWAUKEE, WI - The Republican National Committee kicks off on Monday, just two days after former President Trump, the GOP's standard-bearer, survived an assassination attempt. And the Saturday shooting at Trump's rally in western Pennsylvania – where one spectator was killed and two more critically injured, and the former president visibly bloodied after a bullet grazed his ear – has altered the tone and raised the stakes of the convention.
But as the convention gets underway, all eyes are on the former president as Trump's expected to announce his choice for running mate, which would bring to conclusion weeks of vetting and intense media speculation. Fox News’ Bret Baier reports that senior GOP officials indicate a running mate announcement could occur soon after the convention is gaveled into order at 1 p.m. ET. 'It will be part of the hooplah today kicking things off,' officials said.
