Watch Live: RNC Day 4 underway with Trump speech set to close out convention
CBSN
Former President Donald Trump will formally accept the Republican nomination for president on the fourth and final night of the Republican National Convention on Thursday, where he will deliver his first speech since narrowly surviving an assassination attempt over the weekend.
The close of the convention comes as a new CBS News poll shows Trump has gained ground on President Biden in the aftermath of the shooting, both nationally and in key battleground states. Democratic fears over the president's ability to defeat Trump in November have emerged once again, and senior Democrats tell CBS News they believe the questions surrounding Mr. Biden's candidacy could be resolved in the coming days.
Trump's speech on Thursday is perhaps the most anticipated of his political career. In an interview shortly after the shooting in Pennsylvania, he said the address he planned to give was "going to be a whole different speech now." Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, told "CBS Mornings" that Americans may see a "different version" of Trump in his speech.
