The Republican National Convention will come to a close on Thursday with former President Donald Trump poised to formally accept the party’s presidential nomination at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Trump, making a comeback after four years, is expected to deliver his speech to thousands of supporters. His approach in light of the recent assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, will be under scrutiny.
According to reports, Trump has made revisions to his speech following the shooting incident, with a focus on promoting national unity. Republicans have suggested a softer tone from the combative former president in light of the crisis as an opportunity to temper the divisive political discourse of the 2024 campaign. Trump has mentioned that his original speech, primarily targeting President Joe Biden’s policies, will now be significantly different.
Despite expectations for a different tone from Trump, his strong supporters, moved by his defiant stance during the assassination attempt, are anticipating his message with fervor. Some believe that the incident may bring out a more compassionate and empathetic side of Trump.
In a departure from previous conventions, Melania and Ivanka Trump are not scheduled to speak at the event but are anticipated to be in attendance. Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, gave a speech earlier in the week focusing on Trump’s personal qualities and his love for his family.
The full schedule of speakers for the final day of the convention is set to be disclosed later on Thursday, continuing the trend of revealing the program each morning.
