Trump Triumphs at RNC After Assassination Attempt, Calls for Unity Amidst Tensions

Former President Donald Trump made a dramatic appearance at the Republican National Convention, bandaged from a recent assassination attempt, receiving a raucous welcome from delegates. The event, marked by calls for party unity, saw Trump remain silent but visibly emotional as he joined his newly announced running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

Republican leaders, including Chairman Michael Whatley, emphasized resilience and strength, while speakers invoked religious imagery and the necessity to fight for America’s future. The convention also celebrated a major legal victory for Trump and featured economic themes aimed at broadening his appeal. Despite the calls for unity, the night included fiery rhetoric from figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mark Robinson, reflecting the party’s ongoing tension with the Biden administration.
