Former President Donald Trump was nominated at the Republican National Convention. Former President Trump was confirmed as the party’s presidential candidate at the delegate roll call vote, the first day of the convention held at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. He received most votes needed to be elected as the presidential candidate in the Florida state election among the 2,400 delegates.
Accordingly, former President Trump officially declared his presidential bid for the third time, following 2016 and 2020. The roll call vote was conducted in turns by state, with state representatives announcing who the delegates assigned to the state would vote for.
During the Florida vote, Trump’s second son Eric appeared as a state representative and expressed his support for his father, receiving a warm welcome at the event. On the other hand, when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had a long-standing feud with former President Trump, appeared as a state representative during the Kentucky vote, boos continued throughout the venue.
As a result, McConnell’s remarks were barely audible. Former President Trump is scheduled to make his acceptance speech for the presidential nomination on the 18th, the last day of the convention, and announce his vision for the next administration.
