Former President Donald Trump has been officially named the GOP presidential nominee at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee. Trump secured the necessary 1,215 delegates, solidifying his candidacy for the upcoming November elections. In a surprise announcement on Truth Social, Trump also unveiled his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, completing the Republican ticket.

The RNC is taking place against the backdrop of a recent attempted assassination of Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Tragically, one attendee lost their life, and two others were critically wounded in the incident. The alleged gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was swiftly neutralized moments after opening fire.

Despite this shocking event, the RNC schedule is expected to proceed largely unchanged. The assassination attempt is likely to intensify the passionate atmosphere of the convention, which was already set to be filled with Trump fervor. Corey Lewandowski, a close ally advising the RNC, predicted that the decibel level upon Trump's entrance to the arena would be "almost unmeasurable."

Day one of the convention will feature a lineup of notable speakers, including rapper Amber Rose, Trump fundraiser David Sacks, and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Other prominent figures such as South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who were former vice presidential contenders, will also address the convention attendees. Over the course of the four-day event, more than 80 of Trump's closest allies, significant donors, and lawmakers are expected to take the stage.

To accommodate the expected 50,000 attendees, the City of Milwaukee has made preparations for a successful convention. The RNC is poised to be a milestone event for Trump and his supporters as they rally behind the official nomination of their candidate and launch the campaign towards the November elections.
