Defining the News
Donald Trump returns to the campaign trail as the star of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee – a gathering meant to fire up the grassroots that has instead been overshadowed by the weekend attempt on his life.
Before that, Trump will unveil his vice-presidential pick, a high-stakes moment that could set the tone for the final stretch of his campaign.Much of the buzz around the made-for-TV convention moments has been eclipsed by the fallout from Saturday’s assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, in which Trump was wounded and one attendee was killed.
With the shock of Saturday’s violence fresh in delegates’ minds, all eyes will be on Trump’s acceptance speech, with some US media outlets reporting that his brush with death had persuaded him to soften the edges. The attempt on his life has revived fears over political violence, but most of the important party business at conventions takes place behind a security ring of steel anyway, and Milwaukee is no different.
Installing handpicked loyalists including his daughter-in-law Lara Trump atop the Republican National Committee, the billionaire has worked to crush dissent. Many other high-profile Republicans are slated to address the delegates, including several of the frontrunners in the contest to be Trump’s running mate.
