Trump’s Former Rivals Rally Behind Him at GOP Convention
Former President Donald Trump’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee took an unexpected turn as his former rivals turned into his advocates on stage. Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Ted Cruz all took the microphone to express their support for Trump, despite their past differences. The crowd responded with cheers and applause, showing a united front for the GOP.
The atmosphere at the convention was described as jubilant and festive, despite the recent attempted assassination of Trump. Chief political analyst Chuck Todd noted that this was the most unified Republican convention he had seen in 20 years, drawing parallels to the unity seen after 9/11 during George W. Bush’s second convention.
In addition to the show of support for Trump, other top stories from the evening included Biden’s efforts to shut down dissent among Democrats, potential Supreme Court reform proposals, and the money chase in key House and Senate races. The convention also saw a never-ending feud between Rep. Matt Gaetz and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, adding to the drama of the event.
Overall, the GOP convention showcased a strong display of unity and support for Trump, setting the stage for an exciting and competitive election season ahead.
