Republicans Gather in Milwaukee to Nominate Trump
The Republican Party is set to officially nominate Donald Trump as their candidate for the upcoming November presidential election during a four-day convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Despite Trump's recent criminal charges, he has managed to regain the support of the majority of the party. The convention, which runs from July 15 to 18, will culminate in a grand rally on Thursday evening, featuring the release of 100,000 red, white, and blue balloons.
Anticipation Builds Over Trump's Running Mate
One of the most eagerly awaited moments of the convention is the announcement of Donald Trump's running mate. Speculation is rife, with names like Florida Senator Marco Rubio, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, and popular author JD Vance being floated. Trump, known for his surprising political moves, has only hinted at selecting 'a super vice-president.'
Biden's Candidacy in Question
Adding to the intrigue is the uncertainty surrounding Joe Biden's candidacy. The 81-year-old Democratic president has faced mounting criticism and calls to step down following a disastrous debate against Trump on June 27. If Biden were to withdraw, it could lead to significant shifts within the Democratic Party and force the Republicans to revise their campaign strategy. The Democratic convention, set for August 19-22 in Chicago, may provide further clarity.
