On the second day of the national meeting, the time had come to close the ranks and loyally vote for the man who dominated the nomination battle and who was formally elected as the Republican presidential candidate on Monday. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy — who has gone from challenging Trump to endorsing his candidacy — are all on the list of speakers in Milwaukee on Tuesday. New tones from Haley It was initially not expected that Haley – who only a few months ago said that the US cannot “go through four more years of chaos” – would come to the national meeting. That changed after the assassination of Trump last Saturday. Nikki Haley speaks at the national meeting Photo: CHIP SOMODEVILLA / AFP – For the sake of the country, we must elect Donald Trump. There are some Americans who do not agree with everything he says, I know some of them myself. To them I have a simple message: you don’t have to agree with Trump all the time to vote for him. But we agree more often than we disagree, Haley said this time. Also last night, Trump sat next to his newly elected vice-presidential candidate Vance.

As of Monday, the former president had a bandage over his right ear that was hit by a gunshot from the assassin over the weekend. Trump came to the meeting with vice presidential candidate JD Vance, and the two will also address a rally in Michigan on Saturday. Before that, the former president will address the national assembly on Thursday. (NTB) Published 17.07.2024, at 04.33
