Trump’s speech comes after three days of notable addresses by other Republican leaders, including his newly announced running mate J.D. Vance. The former president is expected to formally accept the Republican nomination for president and lay out his vision for a “new golden age for America”.
Trump’s speech takes on added significance after he survived an assassination attempt over the weekend at a rally in Pennsylvania. He has said the shooting, which grazed his ear, led him to change his planned address to be more personal and focused on bringing the country together.
The 2024 RNC will conclude with Trump’s speech, which is perhaps the most anticipated of his political career. It comes as a new CBS News poll shows him gaining ground on President Biden in the aftermath of the shooting.
