Milwaukee: Two days after an attempt to assassinate him, former President Donald Trump appeared with a bandage on his ear at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he was greeted by an excited crowd with chants of “Fight,” a reference to the word Trump mouthed after surviving the shooting.
Trump and his vice presidential pick, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, were earlier formally nominated as the GOP ticket for the 2024 presidential election.
Vance, a venture capitalist and author of the bestselling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” has adopted Trump’s populist agenda after previously being a pointed critic.
President Joe Biden defended himself against criticism of his anti-Trump rhetoric that had been spotlighted in the shooting’s aftermath – but admitted it was a mistake to say it was “time to put Trump in a bulls-eye.”
As they search for a motive in the Trump attack, investigators are scrutinizing the shooter’s movements and trying to confirm a timeline of his actions.
