The Republican Party is officially nominating Donald Trump as its presidential nominee for a third time.
House Speaker Mike Johnson made the announcement during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee today after Trump secured enough delegate votes to win the nomination.
The convention kicked off two days after Trump was shot in the ear in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Trump, meanwhile, announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate and will officially accept the nomination in a speech on Thursday.
Former President Trump’s family is backing his pick of Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate. While on the floor of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Donald Trump Junior says Vance is impressive.
Experts in Wisconsin say the assassination attempt on former President Trump will likely result in a short term boost for his polling numbers.
The Marquette Law School Poll held the Battleground Wisconsin panel just ahead of the Republican National Convention, which started earlier today (Mon). Gerald Randall, an RNC delegate, says Wisconsin has the highest voter turnout among all battleground states.
