Donald Trump is set to address the Republican National Convention on Thursday, accepting his party's nomination amidst heightened tension following a recent assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. The four-day convention in Milwaukee culminates with his speech, which now focuses on unity instead of planned attacks on President Joe Biden.

The attempt on Trump's life has cast a shadow over the convention. Organizers, however, chose to proceed with their plans, honoring Trump with chants of "Fight, fight, fight!" His supporters, showing solidarity, have worn makeshift bandages mimicking Trump's injury. The former president has hinted that his ordeal prompted significant changes in his speech.

Speakers at the convention, including Ohio Sen. JD Vance, highlighted Trump's resilience and paid homage to Corey Comperatore, a victim who died protecting his family during the shooting. Vance, the vice-presidential pick, recounted his personal struggles and rise in politics, in contrast with the Democrats' ongoing debates over Biden's future as their candidate.
