Day two of the Republican National Convention is underway, and Republicans are laying out their pitch to voters after former President Donald Trump officially became the GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
At Monday’s convention, which is being held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trump also announced his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio. Vance was formally nominated as Trump’s VP pick.
The convention is underway in the shadows of an assassination attempt against Trump, at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the weekend. An attendee at the campaign stop was killed, and two others were seriously inured. Trump said Sunday the attack changed the focus of his convention speech, explaining in a Washington Examiner interview that he now sees it as “chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together.’
