After Brush With Death Trump Officially Receives GOP Nomination

The GOP has officially selected former President Donald Trump as its nominee.

After twenty months of campaigning since launching his re-election bid in November 2022, Trump was formally nominated Monday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was nominated shortly after announcing U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate.

Appearing with a bandaged ear two days after surviving an assassination attempt, Trump received booming applause as he stepped out onto the stage, set to a recording of ‘God Bless the USA.’ He received 2,268 delegates during the selection process–nearly double the threshold needed to secure the nomination. The delegates from his home state of Florida cast the nomination-winning votes.

“The Republican Party is proud to nominate President Donald J. Trump and Senator J.D. Vance as our next President and Vice President of the United States,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chairman Lara Trump in a statement praising the ticket.

“The GOP is the party of working Americans, and Senator Vance has long championed the rural men and women left behind in Joe Biden’s America. His experience, on top of President Trump’s accomplishments for rural communities, like negotiating fairer trade deals like the USMCA and cutting red tape for our farmers, will show Americans in the Heartland that they have a home in President Trump’s movement to Make America Great Again. We look forward to welcoming Americans of all backgrounds into our ‘big tent’ Party and behind the Trump-Vance ticket in the leadup to Election Day.”

Monday marked the third consecutive election in which Republicans chose Donald Trump to lead them on the presidential ticket.

“President Donald J. Trump and Senator J.D. Vance are the most unifying and competitive ticket in political history,” said Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles in a statement

“Donald J. Trump’s record of success as a businessman and as a president who made America wealthy, safe, strong, and great again, coupled with J.D. Vance’s inspirational biography, military service, and dedication to America’s working families, will appeal to voters of all backgrounds across the country. After President Trump secured the Republican nomination in record time, enthusiasm continues to grow for his movement to Make America Great Again, and we will deliver a sweeping victory for the Trump-Vance ticket on November 5.”

After receiving the nomination, Trump did not address the convention; his acceptance speech was instead scheduled for Thursday.

Trump has, however, indicated that the theme of his acceptance speech will center on “unity.” After initially planning to deliver a blistering rebuke of the Biden administration, the former President says his recent brush with death has led him to reconsider. “This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together,” he told the Washington Examiner on Sunday.

“The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would’ve been two days ago.”
