Donald Trump Rallies GOP With RNC Speech, First Since Assassination Bid; Biden Off Campaign Trail

Donald Trump will address a celebratory Republican convention in Milwaukee, where he is expected to formally accept the presidential nomination and bring to a close a four-day event that has underscored his total dominance of the party. The former president, 78, will deliver his primetime speech while riding a wave of momentum that has grown since Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance last month and some more recent court rulings in his favour. It is also his first speech since he survived an assassination attempt at a rally on Saturday, which left him bloodied after a gunman shot in his direction as he delivered remarks on an outdoor stage. Lara Trump told the BBC’s US news partner CBS that her father-in-law was affected by his “near-death experience“ and that will be reflected in his address. She said Americans may see a “different version“ of him #donaldtrump #donaldtrumprncspeechlive #trumprncspeech #rnc2024 #usnews #livenews Donald Trump Live | Don
