ICARO Media Group
Former President Donald Trump is set to accept the Republican Party's presidential nomination on the final day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. This comes just days after an assassination attempt on his life, which is expected to have a significant impact on his speech. In an interview, Trump expressed disappointment that his original speech criticizing the Biden administration had to be altered due to the attack.
According to Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, Americans can expect to see a "different version" of Trump in his speech, as the assassination attempt has deeply affected him. She suggested that viewers might see a softer side of the former president.
The focus of the fourth day of the convention revolves around Trump's vision for the country if he is elected to a second term in the White House, under the theme "Make America Great Once Again." Throughout the week, party delegates, governors, lawmakers, and other faithful Republicans have heard Trump's agenda on the economy, foreign policy, and public safety.
The convention started with the adoption of the GOP's 16-page platform, heavily influenced by Trump. Following that, a roll call vote of state delegations officially nominated Trump for president. On Monday, Trump announced Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, and delegates subsequently nominated Vance for vice president.
Despite the recent attack on Trump's life, Republicans have been working towards projecting unity within their ranks. Many speakers, including Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Doug Burgum, addressed the delegates, highlighting their support for Trump.
Vance, in his acceptance speech for the vice presidential nomination, emphasized that President Trump represents America's last best hope for restoring a country where anyone, regardless of background, can rise to power.
The highlight of the day will be Trump's speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination. Trump's agenda is expected to focus on reviving America's standing both domestically and internationally, ensuring prosperity and safety for American families, and fostering a resurgence in cities and communities.
The official session of Day 4 commencences at 5:45 CT and is scheduled to end at 10:30 p.m. CT. Notable speakers expected to address the convention include Senator Steve Daines, Representative Richard Hudson, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Viewers can catch the convention's coverage on CBS television stations, with programming starting at 10 p.m. ET. Alternatively, CBS News 24/7 will provide comprehensive coverage throughout the day, including live streams of the keynote speeches.
Overall, the Trump-Vance ticket and the Republican National Convention have underscored unity within the GOP despite recent events. As Trump takes the stage, Americans await his vision for a stronger and more prosperous America.
