Former President Donald Trump made his first public appearance since a recent assassination attempt, arriving at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee with a bandage on his right ear.
The crowd erupted in cheers and chants of “Fight, fight, fight!” as Trump took the stage, visibly shaken but defiant. [1][4] In his remarks, Trump thanked God for sparing his life and vowed to continue his quest for the presidency, declaring “The fight has just begun!”
Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, also took the stage and announced that he had the “overwhelming support” of the convention to be Trump’s vice presidential pick. This marks Trump’s third consecutive nomination as the Republican presidential candidate.
The assassination attempt occurred just two days prior at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, where a gunman opened fire as Trump was speaking. Fortunately, Trump was unharmed aside from the graze wound to his ear.
In his remarks, Trump acknowledged the “somber moment” but said “evil came for the man we admire and love so much.” He thanked God for protecting him and vowed to continue his fight to “Make America Great Again.”
