The activities of the American Republican Party conference began today, Monday, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, aimed at selecting the Republican candidate for the upcoming U.S. elections scheduled for November. The national conference started with a moment of silence "to pray for the victims and their families" following a shooting incident at a Trump rally on Saturday. This was followed by a prayer from the Orthodox Archdiocese of America by Bishop Elpidophoros.
Former President Donald Trump is expected to formally announce his entry into the race against the current Democratic candidate, President Joe Biden. Trump is also expected to announce his choice for vice president. The Republican National Convention that commenced today will last for four days. This conference takes place just two days after Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Following the incident, Trump announced his participation in the conference, where he is anticipated to deliver a speech to thousands of his Republican supporters.
