Donald Trump officially accepted his third consecutive Republican nomination for president at the Republican National Convention, emphasizing a familiar platform of border security, 'America First' foreign policies, and deep tax cuts. This convention marked his resurgence from political setbacks, including an assassination attempt that heightened his quasi-religious status among supporters. Trump's grip on the GOP is stronger than ever, with former rivals like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis pledging their support, and Senator JD Vance joining as his vice-presidential nominee, promoting a populist message. House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized President Biden's mental fitness, a claim disputed by the White House. Despite legal and institutional challenges, Trump's political staying power remains significant, as he continues to shape the party's future.
