It’s the final day of the Republican National Convention. Donald Trump will address the audience at the event for the first time since surviving an assassination attempt over the weekend. The fourth day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee will see Trump formally accept the Republican Party’s nomination for president. The final three days of the convention have seen many twists and turns, some of which have been defining moments in the run-up to the upcoming US presidential election.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s reelection effort is facing a major challenge after his Democratic partners privately told him this week that his participation in the election may be for naught amid growing concerns about his health.
Democratic leaders from Nancy Pelosi to Barack Obama have expressed concern about the president’s health and called for a rethink. To make matters worse, Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday.
With Biden campaigning virtually, all eyes are now on Trump’s big speech at the Republican National Convention. Here’s what to expect on Day 4 and a recap of the political event as a whole.
President Trump calls for national unity
After his brush with death, Trump Washington Examiner He said his Republican National Convention speech “will be very different.”
“This is a chance to bring the whole country and even the whole world together. The speech will be completely different from what it was two days ago,” he said.
The convention speech is expected to be watched by tens of millions of viewers in prime time, and strategists see it as a rare chance to reshape the former president’s image and make him more appealing to moderate voters.
Campaign staffers said the near-death experience prompted Trump to revise his acceptance speech to emphasize inclusivity rather than attacks on Biden’s Democrats.
“I don’t think you can have a truly near-death experience like the one he had on Saturday and not be affected by it,” said Lara Trump, Mr. Trump’s daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
In contrast to the divisions that have rocked the Democratic Party, the convention showed Republican unity, with former rivals such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley giving strong endorsements to Trump’s candidacy.
