The Republican National Convention is officially underway in Milwaukee on Monday — just two days after Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday evening.
Despite the shooting, the gathering of more than 50,000 attendees, including an expected 2,400 Republican delegates, is slated to maintain its original programming as a time to bring the party together — but now newly energized by Trump’s amazing survival and raised-fist show of defiance.
One of the most anticipated moments of Trump’s campaign happened Monday when Trump named 39-year-old Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate.
