Donald Trump accepted the GOP nomination for president on the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
“As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together or we fall apart. I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America,” Trump said.
“So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States.”
Throughout the week, Republican elected officials, party leaders, celebrities and voters have taken the stage to speak in support of Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. They also adopted a party platform. Trump’s address is his first formal public remarks since an assassination attempt against him last weekend at a rally in Pennsylvania.
