Donald Trump officially nominated as Republican Party’s presidential pick for November’s election. Senator JD Vance of Ohio has been chosen by Trump to be his running mate.
The head of the US Secret Service has expressed confidence in the plan to secure the Republican National Convention (RNC) that starts on Monday following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
The former US president is in Milwaukee for the RNC. His campaign is expected to announce his vice-presidential pick later on Monday, before he receives the party’s formal nomination for the 2024 presidential race later this week.
Following the shooting at a Pennsylvania rally, Trump says he is rewriting “an extremely tough speech” about President Joe Biden’s “horrible administration” he had prepared for the RNC, hoping to unite the country.
