Donald Trump made a forceful case for a second term in the White House on the final night of the Republican National Convention, capping a dramatic week that included an assassination attempt and Trump's selection of a running mate amid growing calls for his Democratic rival, President Joe Biden, to drop out of the race.
The convention crowd at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee had been waiting all week to hear from Trump. His 90-minute acceptance speech was at turns somber and combative as Trump made overtures at unifying the country while also attacking Democrats and Biden.
"I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America," Trump said. He soon added that Democrats are "destroying the country."
Trump's third consecutive presidential nomination marked one of the final steps of a comeback several years in the making.
