In a dramatic lead-up to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, former President Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt just two days before the event, setting a remarkable tone for the proceedings.
The GOP achieved its objectives in Milwaukee. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) was quickly moved out of the spotlight, allowing Vice-Presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance (Ohio) to shine. Vance presented himself as an emblem of American success, sharing relatable anecdotes about his gun-toting, God-loving, f-word-dropping grandmother, Mamaw. While protests outside the convention were relatively quiet, Hulk Hogan’s enthusiastic appearance was anything but subdued. A poignant tribute honored the 13 U.S. service members killed at Abbey Gate in Kabul, countering President Biden’s erroneous debate claim that he was the only president in decades without troop casualties.
Trump’s speech, though delayed, offered a rare glimpse of vulnerability. He recounted the harrowing assassination attempt: “The assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life. So many people have asked me what happened, ‘tell us what happened, please,’ and therefore, I’ll tell you what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time, because actually it’s too painful to tell. … I felt something hit me really, really hard on my right ear. I said to myself, what was that? It can only be a bullet. My hand was covered with blood — just absolutely blood all over the place. … There was blood pouring everywhere, but for some reason, I felt very safe, because I had God on my side.” Despite losing focus and diverting to discuss the Green Bay Packers’ upcoming season, Trump’s raw emotion resonated with attendees.
The convention underscored a unified Republican Party, bolstered by the conversion of Trump’s past critics to his brand of politics or their departure from the party. Mitt Romney is retiring from the Senate, Liz Cheney lost her primary, and Jeff Flake is concluding his term as Biden’s ambassador to Turkey. Former GOP primary rivals, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, publicly endorsed Trump, solidifying party unity and support for his candidacy.
