Two days after the assassination of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the White House reappeared in public on the evening of Monday, July 15, during the Republican National Convention being held in Milwaukee, in the north of the United States.
Donald Trump reappeared with a serious expression and his ear bandaged amid applause, ovations and a standing ovation, after the Republican Party confirmed Donald Trump’s candidacy for the elections next November.
Trump’s comeback after the shooting attack that occurred last Saturday, July 13, occurred after the Republican elected JD Davis as his running mate.
On his way to the stands where his family was, as well as JD VanceTrump walked with his fist raised, the same gesture he made right after he was shot on Saturday, as soon as the moment of danger had passed.
Supported by his children Tiffany, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., and by the wife and fiancée of the latter two, Lara Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former president (2017-2021) received the public’s affection with emotion.
The delegates and the rest of those present interspersed their applause with shouts of “Fight”, the same one he also shouted when he was evacuated on Saturday by the security services, leaving a historic image for posterity.
Trump was the victim of an attack during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a man who was eventually neutralized by law enforcement fired from outside the venue, hitting him in the ear, killing one person and injuring two others.
The conservative party had expressed its support for him hours earlier, with the delegate votes necessary to continue his campaign. In total, 2 thousand 387, almost double the 1,215 minimum threshold.
Trump had been in town since Sunday night. Earlier in the day, he said he would not let what happened change his schedule and said he was looking forward to being with his people in Milwaukee, the largest city in the world. Key State of Wisconsin.
With the announcement of his possible number two, Trump ended weeks of uncertainty and left behind others who had been rumored to be favorites, such as Florida Senator Marco Rubio, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.
Before his arrival, a recorded message had been broadcast before the attack in which he urged his colleagues to protect the vote in November: “That’s the most important thing we have to do, protect the vote and keep our eyes open, because those people,” he said, referring to Democrats, “want to cheat.”
