Former President Donald Trump gave a speech Thursday night at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, his first since the attempt on his life last Saturday. Watch the speech here.

Key Details: In his speech accepting his party's nomination for president, a bandaged and subdued Trump began his speech in a somber tone before focusing on his plans for a second term as he praised allies and criticized his enemies.

Major moments: At the beginning of the speech, Trump relived the assassination attempt against him, giving his version and saying "I am not supposed to be here tonight." Trump then paid tribute to Corey Comperatore, a firefighter who was killed in last week's shooting at Trump's rally, calling him a "fine man." Later in the speech, Trump praised his wife Melania for her open letter to America that called for national unity in the wake of the assassination attempt, and he showed the immigration chart that may have saved his life when he turned his head away from it.

How the Media Covered it: Rich Lowry (Right bias) of National Review (Right bias) noted the "riveting account" of his near assassination, but also called the speech "lengthy, rambling, and repetitive". Axios (Lean Left bias) reported that Trump trampled on his unity theme by railing against a migrant "invasion" and praising foreign autocrats. A number of sources across the political spectrum noted Trump's references to Democrats "creating" in the 2020 election.

Former President Trump turned the 2024 Republican National Convention into a campaign rally in his first speech since surviving an assassination attempt, claiming God was on his side during the shooting and calling for his party to unify to “save this country.”

Trump divulged the details of his near-death experience as he addressed thousands in attendance in Milwaukee and formally accepted the GOP presidential nomination.

Here are the five big takeaways from the last night of the convention.

Rarely has the appearance of a party’s nominee on a convention stage been as intensely anticipated as that of Donald Trump in Milwaukee.

Nearly assassinated last Saturday and still bandaged from his wound to his ear, Trump was rapturously greeted each time he entered the convention hall this week, and his speech was tantalizingly teased as completely reworked after the shooting last weekend.

The "new" Donald Trump soothed and silenced the nation for 28 minutes last night. Then the old Trump returned and bellowed, barked and bored America for 64 minutes more.

Why it matters: Despondent Democrats were reminded why they had long believed, before President Biden melted down in last month's debate, that Trump is a flawed candidate — and eminently beatable.

Former President Donald Trump is set to give his keynote speech on the last night of the Republican National Convention, capping four days of remarks from some of his most fervent supporters and allies. Trump will talk about the attempted assassination and call the U.S. a nation in decline under the Biden administration, according to prepared remarks.
