MILWAUKEE — Donald Trump has become the official Republican presidential nominee after receiving the votes of enough delegates at the Republican National Convention.
The announcement came amid a frenzy of phone calls updating potential running mates and just days after an attempted assassination on Trump at a Pennsylvania rally. Anger and anxiety are coursing through the party, even as many top Republicans call for calm and a lowering of tensions. On Monday, hours before the first convention session, some well-timed good news for Trump got the day off to a positive start for him and his party. The federal judge presiding over Trump's classified documents case dismissed the prosecution because of concerns over the appointment of the prosecutor who brought the case, handing the former president a major court victory.
The platform approved by a committee last week doesn't include an explicit call for a national abortion ban, two years after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended a federally guaranteed right to abortion. Nevada GOP Chair Michael McDonald, who was indicted of criminal charges related to his involvement in a scheme to present fake electors who would overturn Biden's victory over Trump, plans to present the former president with the party nomination at the convention. A judge dismissed the case against McDonald last month over a venue dispute.
