The Republican candidate, Donald Trump, made a surprise appearance at the Republican convention in Milwaukee on Monday, with his right ear bandaged in front of a cheering crowd.
The Republican Party, which on Monday confirmed the candidacy of former President Donald Trump for the White House, received the Republican magnate with full honors at its national convention. Trump appeared with a serious expression and his ear bandaged in Milwaukee.
Outside, it was pouring rain with thunder and lightning, while the atmosphere inside the convention center was electric. No one expected Trump’s arrival, and when he unexpectedly appeared around 9:00 p.m., accompanied by his wife Ivanka Trump and the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, the audience erupted in cheers. Some delegates who had left rushed back when they heard of his presence, filling the hall and the seats that had emptied by the end of the first day of deliberations.
Trump, visibly tired and with a bandage on his right ear, walked towards the stands where his family and his potential vice president, JD Vance, were waiting for him. He raised his fist high, a gesture he repeated following being attacked last Saturday at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. As he walked, he waved to people, surrounded by a heavy security detail, and at one point even applauded himself.
His visit lasted almost an hour. He was accompanied by his children Tiffany, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr., along with their wives Lara Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle. The delegates interspersed their applause with shouts of “Fight,” echoing the call that Trump made when he was evacuated following the attack. After his emotional appearance, the entourage that accompanied him, including Vance, left. The auditorium emptied quickly following Trump’s departure.
The opening day of the Republican convention in Milwaukee was not only marked by Trump’s unexpected appearance but also by the confirmation of his presidential candidacy. The Republican Party expressed its support with 2,387 delegate votes, almost double the minimum required. Trump, who had already been in Milwaukee since Sunday evening, expressed his determination not to alter his agenda and stressed his desire to be with his supporters in the largest city in Wisconsin.
The main day for Trump at the convention will be held on Thursday, but he decided to attend this opening day in person, even though it wasn’t scheduled in his agenda. At the same forum, it was announced that JD Vance would be his vice president if he wins the November 5 elections, ending weeks of speculation and beating out other candidates such as Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, Doug Burgum, and Glenn Youngkin.
Before his arrival, a pre-recorded message was broadcast in which Trump urged his colleagues to protect the vote in November and to be vigilant, warning that Democrats would try to cheat.
The weekend attack still resonated in the memories of all those present. During a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a man fired from outside the premises, wounding Trump in the ear and causing the death of one person and injuries to two others. Despite the incident, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to continue his campaign and not be intimidated by the violent act.
