Key takeaways from Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention
Al Jazeera
Former US president accepts the Republican nomination in lengthy speech at the end of four-day convention in Milwaukee.
Six days after surviving an assassination attempt, former United States President Donald Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention to accept the party nomination for the presidency.
He went on to speak for more than 90 minutes – the longest acceptance speech in modern history.
What was meant to be a unifying speech, however, veered into familiar grievances as Trump denounced undocumented immigration, political “witch-hunts” and election fraud.
Still, it was a crowning moment for Trump, complete with lots of fanfare. The speech was the final event of the party convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Republicans rallied around him, praising him on and off stage.
That show of support for Trump offered a stark contrast with the political troubles of President Joe Biden, who is facing mounting calls from his fellow Democrats to drop out of the race after a disastrous debate performance last month.
