From the Associated Press

The Republican National Convention culminated on Thursday with former President Donald Trump accepting the presidential nomination.

Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama has privately expressed concern to Democrats about President Joe Biden's nomination, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has warned that Democrats could lose control of the House if they don't withdraw from the race.

President Joe Biden's reelection campaign insists it is "not considering" a "not at the top of the ticket" scenario, despite growing calls from Democrats for him to withdraw from the race before the November election.

Here's the latest:

And there’s Melania

It's one of the most anticipated moments of the convention. Former First Lady Melania Trump has been loudly covered while quoting other speakers on previous nights, but on the final night she finally entered the arena in a red jacket and pencil suit and waved to the crowd.

1. Melania has been absent from the campaign trail, missing key moments such as the Super Tuesday victory party and last month's 78th birthday party. She was also not present during the Republican candidate's trial more than a month ago, leading New York reporters to repeatedly ask "Where is Melania?" in the courtroom. 2. She will not speak at the convention. After the Florida Democratic Party selected Barron Trump as its delegate, it was her office that declined an invitation for the couple's youngest son to attend as a Florida delegate, citing "prior commitments." 3. Her presence helps the Republican Party show unity. The issue has come to the fore more prominently since Trump's life effort. The day after the attack, Melania released a statement calling on Americans to "rise above the simplistic ideas that incite hatred, abuse and violence."

Trump expected to hammer home key Biden criticisms

In his speech, Trump is expected to continue to highlight some of his key criticisms of the Biden administration.

"Under this administration, we are a nation in decline," he will say, according to a quote provided by the campaign.

Inflation "makes life harder, destroys the incomes of working and low-income families, and impoverishes our people.

He will then speak about immigration, his signature issue, saying the country faces a "crisis of illegal immigration" and that "a massive invasion at our southern border is spreading misery, crime, poverty, disease and destruction to communities across our land."

He will also speak about foreign policy, warning that "our planet is on the brink of World War II."

"It's time for change. We cannot sustain this administration for another four years."

Trump campaign releases excerpts from the GOP nominee’s speech

In his speech, President Trump will directly address the failed assassination attempt and thank the American people.

"As you all know, that assassin's bullet came within a centimeter of killing me," he will say, according to a quote released by the campaign.

Despite these attacks, we stand together tonight, more determined than ever."

Franklin Graham is one of the few speakers to acknowledge abortion

Evangelist Franklin Graham took to the stage following former wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and smiled at his opponents.

"God broke his life," he said. "And when we go through those experiences, God changes us."

Graham has also rarely implied that Trump has appointed the Supreme Court's judge, which provides an important vote that overturns the Lo w-t o-Wade method, a politically subtle problem that the tournament has avoided.

"When he told me and this country that he would appoint a conservative judge, he did it," Graham told Trump.

Graham also guided the gods for the country and the prayer for Trump and Vice President J. D. Bance. Graham added to Bance: "Thank you for his strong attitude to protect life."

Hulk Hogan endorses his ‘hero’

The retired professional wrestler Hulk Hogan once supported Barak Obama in the presidential election, but on Thursday, it appeared in an unexpected form on the RNC, and he fully supported Trump he recently called the "hero". did.

He went on stage while shaking the American flag.

"Hogan said," But I can see the best tag team in my life standing together and preparing to get up for this country. "

Trump and his family reenter the arena

Trump returned to the family box with adult children, including Ivanka and Don Jr., and several grandchildren.

Former Mrs. Melania Trump appeared to the arena, but was not yet in the family box.

The band keeps vamping for time

The houseband played several numbers.

Cover of Romantics's "What I Like About You", and Stevie Ray Varne's "Pride and Joy" version. There is also an extension version.

In "PRIDE AND JOY", the keyboard and guitar solo intersect, and the video screen in the arena showed that the tournament participants wearing red, white and blue were dancing.

At the end of the chorus, the band entered the extension jam again and seemed to fill the time before the next speaker rang.

At the moment when the break was over, he entered Sam and Dave's "Soul Man".

And another song by the band …

The conference schedule progresses about 30 minutes later than planned on Thursday's first show. The band played songs one after another as the audience waited for a lot of attention speeches, such as Hulk Hogan talking about Eric Trump Jr.

Some of the enthusiastic tournament participants have been tired of lon g-term performance of their favorite country song, but many representatives stood up, danced, and waved various Trump signs back and forth. I am.

Attendees keep signs handy

Of course, there is also a sign for "Make America Great Again" at the tournament venue. After all, it's a slogan that Trump has been sued for eight years.

But the 2024 Democratic Convention has produced a variety of related official campaign tiles in the same red, white and blue font as the familiar MAGA sign: "Bring Back Common Sense," "First America/Americans First," "Fire Joe Biden," and more.

And there's a hand-painted sign, just like the old convention: "I'm from New Mexico and I love Trump."

The Montana senator is up for reelection this year, hoping to retain his state's only Democratic seat.

Democratic Sen. Jon Tester called President Biden to drop out of the presidential race

"I've worked with President Biden as he made Montana strong," he said. "And while I appreciate his public service and his commitment to our country, I don't think President Biden should seek reelection for another term.

Tester is the second Democratic senator to call on Biden to drop out of the race. Vermont Sen. Peter Welch called on Biden to resign earlier this month.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he called hours after Saturday's assassination attempt on Trump, but the former president didn't say anything.

Tucker Carlson invokes divine intervention

"Tucker just said how surprised he was and how proud he was that the crowd wasn't running. 'Of course they weren't running. His courage inspired the crowd.'"

Carlson also said Trump didn't try to create division after the attacks. "He turned down the most obvious opportunity to incite the public," Carlson said.

Like many speakers during the convention, Carlson also suggested that recent events were inspired by God. "From last month's debate, and especially from what happened in Butler on Saturday, a lot of people are like, 'What is this? It doesn't feel like politics. There's something bigger going on,'" Carlson said.

How much Trump loves music came up several times during Thursday's speech.

Jason Aldean was with Trump on the final night of the RNC. He and his wife, Brittany, were seen shaking hands with Trump and speaking with him during the program.

Country singer Jason Aldean greets Trump at the convention

Aldean, a Trump supporter, dedicated his song "Try That in a Small Town" to Trump during a recent concert in Nashville after the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

The music video for the song, which became a summer political touchstone last year, drew fierce criticism online.

In the video, Ardine showed a riot in 1946, in front of the Morley Court in Columbia, Columbia, Tennessee, where a 1 8-yea r-old black teenager, Henry Chot, was lynched by a mob. 。

Arena Haba, a lawyer and Trump's advisor, has presented a huma n-like image of Mr. Trump, who says, "I love this country" and "to upload people around me."

He said an episode that a man on the way shouted when he was calling him outside the court: "Please protect you and President Trump!" Trump hears the man and individual. He asked him to give a phone call because he wanted to thank him.

Habba: ‘Every attack on President Trump only strengthens our movement’

"Left is trying to drag Trump down, but there is no bulldozer that has been built up or a bulldozer who has enough size or power to remove the future he created. Just strengthen the exercise. "

He also talked about the attempted assassination on Saturday.

"Don't forget that President Trump was not just a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania. He has been bullet for us and will continue to receive it."

New York's construction workers and son Steven Witkov and Zack Witkov were planning to testify about Trump as a friend and employer.

Former President's face was clear after the period of office and high publicity after retirement.

New York builders attest to Trump personal character

His father and his son declared Trump as a boss and grandfather.

"Steve Witkov said," I saw his leadership in a quiet time. "When it's too tough, when there's nothing to lose, Donald Trump is nearby."

Steve Witkov said about Trump's support activities, describing the pain as "unbearable" after his son died of overdose of opioid.

"That's him," Steven Witkov said.

A pastor of Detroit's Black Church, who visited Mr. Trump last month, suggested that the former President came to his church, listened to his story and learned.

"Did Jesus Christ protect him for such a time?" Lorenzo Swell, a pastor of Detroit, declared as many as possible, as many as possible.

‘Could it be that Jesus Christ preserved him for a time such as this?’

Swell repeatedly mentioned the Bible and said, "Trump has entered the food because he cares about Americans living on average everyday life."

Swell also mentioned several times in the assassination attempt, saying, "If President Donald Trump was working for a millimeter, he would not have been in the tournament."

Speaking to his "Democratic Friends," Sewell said, "Do you know a man who was convicted of 34 charges, raised $53 million in 24 hours, and could have become the 47th president? Do you know a man like that?"

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo touts the foreign policy achievements of the Trump administration, saying: "We put America first every day."

Pompeo also criticized Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Israel's attacks on Gaza.

Pompeo: ‘We can’t trust the Biden administration’

"The Biden administration cannot be trusted," he said.

Pompeo, who also served as Trump's CIA director and a Kansas congressman, considered challenging Trump for the Republican nomination this year. But he decided to withdraw from the race, saying it was not the right time for him and his family.

On Thursday night, in the former president's box at the RNC, Trump's most loyal allies in the Senate are sitting. Sens. Mike Lee, Bill Hagerty and Ted Cruz fill the seats before the Trump family arrives for the highly-anticipated speech. Some of the Senate candidates, such as Nevada Republican candidate Sam Brown, are also used to the platform.

One of the "everyday Americans" speaking on behalf of the Trump campaign is a former Playboy model who is listed as one of the richest self-employed women in the country.

Senators night in Trump’s family box

Diane Hendricks of Wisconsin told the delegation how she started her own business as a single mother in real estate, met her husband and "put everything I had on the line" to start ABC Supply.

‘Everyday American’ is GOP-backing billionaire

The company is the largest wholesaler of roofing supplies in North America and one of the largest wholesalers of siding and windows in North America, with nearly 700 locations in the United States and Canada.

Hendricks spoke of the tens of thousands of jobs she has created in the United States, telling aspiring entrepreneurs, "If I can do it, you can do it." She also praised Trump for his business acumen, saying it's what the country needs.

She is a big supporter of Republican candidates both locally and abroad. Forbes estimates her net worth at more than $20 billion.

Under the RNC, about 50 family members and supporters of two Milwaukee men who were recently killed in separate circumstances gathered and marched to call attention to their deaths.

The event focused on the deaths of Samuel Sharp, a homeless man who was shot and killed by an out-of-state police officer sent to Milwaukee for the RNC on Tuesday, and D'Vaudaye Mitchell, who died last month after being subjugated by security at a nearby hotel.

Down the block from the RNC, dozens gather to mourn two dead

The deaths of the two men, both Black, have raised tensions in the city, and Sharp's death in particular has focused on law enforcement's approach to the convention.

Angelique Sharp, speaking to dozens of protesters and reporters, said her brother's death was due to the presence of out-of-state police officers.

"I would rather have Milwaukee police (who know the people in this community) than people who have no connection to your community and don't care about our relatives there," she said.

Police authorities said Sharp was shot by five Columbus, Ohio, police officers.

At the rally, Angelique Sharp said her brother had multiple sclerosis and acted in self-defense against someone who had threatened him in recent days.

"Let's take this show to the streets!" said North Carolina RNC Chairman Michael Whatley at the start of the fourth night of the convention.
