Former President Donald Trump delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, marking his first public appearance since the assassination attempt on Saturday. The event began with a performance of “God Bless America” by Lee Greenwood, setting the stage for Trump's address.
During the event, a poignant moment occurred when the firefighter jacket and helmet of Corey Comperatore, the victim of the rally shooting, were brought on stage, serving as a reminder of the recent tragic incident.
Trump, who had been present at the convention throughout the week, formally accepted the nomination to be the party's presidential nominee after securing enough delegates at the start of the convention on Monday. His speech was described by one of his top advisers, Chris LaCivita, as being “very forward focused,” indicating a shift towards future plans and initiatives.
Throughout the week, Trump had been observing speeches from various figures, including his former primary rivals, allies, and his running mate, JD Vance. The anticipation for his speech was high, with viewers eager to hear his perspective on key issues and his vision for the future.
