The Republican National Convention begins its second day in Milwaukee with former President Donald Trump as the party’s official nominee. Trump made an appearance at the convention Monday after he was injured over the weekend in an assassination attempt. His ear bandaged, the Republican nominee greeted enthusiastic delegates and shared a stage with Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, whom he picked as his vice presidential running mate earlier in the day.
