In a dramatic Republican National Convention, Donald Trump was formally nominated as the Republican presidential candidate on Monday, 15.
Trump, who survived an assassination attempt over the weekend, has also chosen 39-year-old Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential candidate.
Vance, once a harsh critic of Trump, has become a staunch supporter, embodying the right-wing populism that Trump champions. This choice solidifies the ticket’s appeal to the conservative base, though it may alienate moderate voters.
Trump received a hero’s welcome in Milwaukee, with his son Eric placing him over the delegate threshold. Despite legal issues and past impeachments, Trump remains a dominant force, while President Biden faces dwindling support and health concerns.
