Donald Trump made a sensational entrance at the Republican National Convention days after surviving an assassination attempt. The former president walked into the Fiserv Forum to an uproarious response, receiving a raucous ovation from the party faithful.

Trump's entrance, with his ear heavily bandaged from a bullet graze, capped the first day of the convention where he was officially nominated as the party's 2024 presidential candidate. The crowd chanted "Fight! Fight! Fight!" as Trump, unusually subdued, waved from a box alongside his new running mate, U.S. Senator J.D. Vance.

The assassination attempt at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, which killed a supporter, underscores the nation's deeply fractured political landscape ahead of the election. President Joe Biden condemned the shooting and called for peaceful resolution through voting, underscoring the tense political atmosphere.
