Republicans will finally get to hear from former President Donald Trump when he formally accepts his party's nomination for president Thursday night.
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - JULY 18: Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. President Donald Trump arrives to speak on stage on the fourth day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum on July 18, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Delegates, politicians, and the Republican faithful are in Milwaukee for the annual convention, concluding with former President Donald Trump accepting his party's presidential nomination. The RNC takes place from July 15-18.
"With faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States,” Trump said. Trump’s speech comes after his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, got his moment in the spotlight when heon Wednesday night and formally accepted his nomination to be vice president. Vance, a relative unknown on the national stage for most Americans, drew on his background and contrasted Trump with Biden in his speech in a push to show voters that the former president is the right man to lead the country to better days.
Prior to the shooting at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally, Trump was coming into the convention with a slew of positive political and legal developments. His opponent in the election is still facing an intraparty uproar about his candidacy after a disastrous debate performance and calls for him to drop out of the race for someone else.
“If they can come for me, if they can come for Donald Trump, be careful. They will come for you,” he said. “They did not break me, and they will never break Donald Trump.”
