Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate, U.S. Senator J.D. Vance, took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Wednesday, highlighting the lasting impact of the MAGA movement on the party. Vance's speech is expected to be a significant moment before Trump's address on Thursday.

Amid this, President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms, prompting him to return to Delaware to work from home. This development adds to a turbulent campaign season complicated further by an attempt on Trump's life at a rally in Pennsylvania.

The RNC showcased strong party unity despite aggressive opposition to Biden's administration, especially on issues like immigration. Trump has pledged the largest deportation in U.S. history. The atmosphere was charged with emotional tributes and controversial statements, highlighting the intense political divide.
