On the second day of the national convention, the time had come to close the ranks and stand loyally for the man who dominated the battle to become the Republican presidential candidate. Florida governor Ron DeSantis, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy were all on the list of speakers in Milwaukee on the night of Wednesday Norwegian time. Everyone has gone from challenging Trump in the race for the presidency to supporting his candidacy. On Monday, Trump was officially named the Republican nominee. He also named JD Vance as his running mate. New tones from Haley It was initially not expected that Haley would come to the national meeting. It’s only been a few months since she said the United States cannot “go through four more years of chaos,” referring to Trump’s previous presidency from 2017-2021.

She emphasized that she sometimes did not agree with everything Trump said. And that she knows Americans who occasionally disagree with him. – I have a simple message for them: you don’t have to agree with Trump all the time to vote for him. But we agree more often than we disagree, she stressed. – Demonized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also stood wholeheartedly behind his old rival. – Donald Trump has been demonized. He has been sued. He has been prosecuted. And he almost lost his life, DeSantis said, CNN reported. – We cannot disappoint him. We cannot disappoint the United States, he continued. Ron DeSantis has previously challenged Trump in the nomination battle. But he was well received on day two of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday.

Biden is just a figurehead. He is a tool to push the left’s agenda on the American people, DeSantis said. Among other things, he pointed out that he supports Trump’s strict border policy: – Our country was respected when Trump was the country’s commander-in-chief. Trump had a bandage on his ear and raised his fist at the national meeting on Tuesday.

Not because you are all bad people, but because you have broken the law. And the United States is founded on legal principles. Trump himself came to the national assembly hall on Tuesday. He was also present on Monday. Both days he wore a bandage over the right ear that was hit by a shot from the assassin at the weekend. On Thursday, he himself will speak at the national meeting.
