2024 Republican Convention: Trump Survives Assassination Attempt, Pledges to Make America Safe Again with Immigration Crackdown

The 2024 Republican National Convention is taking place in Milwaukee, with former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, appearing at the event. Trump survived an assassination attempt at the weekend and spoke before the convention crowd almost exactly 48 hours after the incident. Republicans will continue to seek to boost the newly minted ticket during proceedings Tuesday, the second of four days of convention programming.

Trump's hardline stance on immigration is expected to be a focus on day two of the RNC, with Republicans pledging to seal the border and carry out the largest deportation operation in American history. Vance has stated that undocumented immigrants need to be deported, starting with violent criminals.

The convention's theme for the second day is 'Make America Safe Once Again', with attendees hearing from more Republican lawmakers making the case for electing Trump. Meanwhile, a quiet pressure campaign is underway to push President Joe Biden's formal nomination to begin as early as next week, a month before the Democratic Party's convention in Chicago.

Two key Democratic committees will gather on Friday and Sunday to discuss the exact timeline for delegates across the country to start casting their votes. The earliest that voting could begin would be after the second meeting on Sunday.
