A bandaged Donald Trump makes his first public appearance since his attempted assassination, and a running mate with a surprising past is announced. These are the big moments from the Republican convention's first day.
Sporting a bandage on his ear after the weekend’s assassination attempt, Donald Trump has received a hero’s welcome from the party faithful at the Republican National Convention .
Trump's legal team had argued the appointment violated the US constitution because his office was not created by Congress, and nor was he confirmed by the Senate. Smith is also the special prosecutor in one of the election interference cases, but that's being heard by a court in Washington DC, where the judge may take a different view of his appointment.It's Ohio senator JD Vance, a 39-year-old venture capitalist who made his name with a memoir called Hillbilly Elegy .
President Biden said of the former president "put Trump in the bullseye", while speaking to donors in a private call days before the assassination attempt."It was a mistake to use the word. I didn't say crosshairs. I meant bullseye, I meant focus on him. Focus on what he's doing. Focus on his policies. Focus on the number of lies he told in the debate."
However, late in the evening, he walked into the arena, with a bandage on the ear that was grazed by the bullet. This Vegas voter is backing the 'scary' candidate.
