Trump feted by former rivals days after narrowly surviving an attempted assassination.
Donald Trump has received emphatic endorsements from former rivals at the Republican National Convention (RNC), a display of party unity days after he narrowly escaped being killed by a would-be assassin’s bullet.
On the second day of the convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis feted their former rival as they urged Republicans to come together to defeat US President Joe Biden in November.
Haley, who previously called Trump unelectable, unqualified and “unhinged”, said that Republicans should back Trump for the “sake of our nation,” taking aim at Biden’s handling of foreign policy and immigration, the key theme of the evening.
“You don’t have to agree with Trump 100 percent of the time to vote for him,” Haley told delegates on the second day of the convention.
“Take it from me. I haven’t always agreed with President Trump. But we agree more often than we disagree.”
