The Republican National Convention kicks off in Milwaukee just days after former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt, with the incident casting a shadow over the event. Trump, who is set to be formally nominated as the Republican candidate, has pledged resilience, emphasizing the need for unity and strength.
Security measures have been significantly heightened, reflecting the recent violence and the intense political climate. The convention will spotlight Trump’s platform, including economic proposals and criticisms of the Biden administration, while the search for a vice-presidential running mate remains a focal point. Despite the dramatic prelude, the event aims to project a message of determination and resolve in the face of adversity.
