Valin Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 MSN/Reuters Nathan Layne July 14 2024 (Reuters) -Donald Trump will receive his party's official 2024 nomination for president during the four-day Republican National Convention in Milwaukee beginning on Monday, just days after he survived an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania campaign rally. The former president, 78, had begun to speak when a bullet pierced his ear. The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, as the suspect. Law enforcement agents killed the gunman and were investigating the motive. Trump was otherwise unharmed. The assassination attempt enraged Trump supporters and appeared likely to overshadow the convention and other events amid fears of further political violence in the run-up to Trump's Nov. 5 rematch with President Joe Biden, 81. The convention will feature televised speeches by rising Republican stars and Trump's choice for a yet-to-be-announced vice presidential running mate, while highlighting the party's stance on such topics as abortion, immigration and the economy.
