Just five days after surviving an assassination attempt, former President Donald Trump formally accepted the Republican party's nomination. Now the official candidate, he began by delivering a message of "confidence, strength, and hope," on the final day at the Republican National Convention, but quickly returning to his usual rhetoric.
"The discord and division in our society must be healed. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart," Trump said in his speech. "I am running to be president for all America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America."
