Former President Donald Trump made a triumphant appearance at the Republican National Convention's opening night, just two days after surviving an attempted assassination. Trump, with a bandage over his right ear, was met with wild cheers from GOP delegates as he emerged in the arena while musician Lee Greenwood sang 'God Bless the USA.' The convention had formally nominated Trump to lead the Republican ticket in November against President Joe Biden.
The focus of the convention will shift to immigration on Tuesday, a central issue to Trump's political brand. Trump, flanked by Secret Service agents, did not address the audience on Monday but smiled and waved as Greenwood performed. He later joined his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, to listen to the remaining speeches.
