GOP nominee Donald Trump made an appearance at night 1 of the RNC. He was seen with a bandage covering his ear days after the attempted assassination at his Pennsylvania rally. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Sen. Tim Scott and model Amber Rose are among those who spoke on the first night of the convention.
The first night of the RNC was supposed to be about the economy, with the goal of uniting voters of all ideological persuasions who are frustrated by high prices. But some of the biggest applause lines came from harsh criticisms of transgender people.
It’s a reminder that cultural issues motivate the GOP base as much as financial ones. A trio of speakers unabashedly went after Democrats who have sought greater acceptance for transgender people. Of particular outrage to Republicans this year was Biden marking Transgender Day of Visibility. It happened to overlap with Easter in 2024, a byproduct of the Christian holiday being based off the lunar calendar.“They promised normalcy and gave us Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday,” said Rep.
Sen. Ron Johnson said at the convention it was all part of a “fringe agenda” that “includes biological males competing against girls.” Rep. John James tried to equate it to part of a broader critique of Democrats, saying that they promised to offer the country hope and had failed. “Our daughters were sold on hope, and now they’re being forced on the playing fields and changing rooms with biological males,” James said.
