The people closest to President Donald Trump — his family — were starring on the second night of the Republican National Convention as the GOP worked to reintroduce the president to American voters in the midst of the campaign and pandemic
A diverse collection of Donald Trump's allies — his family, swing-state farmers and even a convicted bank robber — cast the president as the best hope for America's future Tuesday night as Republicans embraced a more optimistic tone on the second night of their scaled-down national convention.
The first-term president is laboring to improve his standing in a 2020 presidential race he is currently losing. Most polls report that Democratic rival Joe Biden has a significant advantage in terms of raw support; the former vice president also leads on character issues such as trustworthiness and likability.
There was little mention of the pandemic through the first hour of the program, although it remains a dominant issue for voters this fall. Tuesday night, there were fierce attacks on Biden throughout, although the lineup generally maintained a more positive tone -- in part due to some last-minute changes.
"President Trump is fighting for all of us. He delivered the best economy in our history and he will do it again," Vlaisavljevich said.
