Republican Party Officially Selects Trump as Presidential Nominee

The Republican Party officially selected Donald Trump as the nominee for the presidential elections scheduled for next November. Trump became the official Republican presidential nominee after receiving enough delegate votes at the Republican National Convention. He had been the presumptive nominee for several months, but the vote by the party's national delegates in Milwaukee made it official. Trump reached the necessary threshold with votes from his home state of Florida. Earlier, the proceedings of the Republican National Convention kicked off in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the national convention began with a moment of silence "to pray for the victims and their families" in the aftermath of a shooting incident at a Trump rally on Saturday. During the convention, Trump announced Republican Senator from Ohio J.D. Vance as his running mate for the presidential elections. The general Republican convention that began today will last for four days. This convention follows just two days after Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. After the incident, Trump confirmed his participation in the convention, where he is expected to deliver a speech to thousands of his supporters in the Republican Party.
