Former President Donald Trump dramatically entered the Republican National Convention (RNC) Monday night in his first public appearance since Saturday’s failed assassination attempt.
Trump walked into the Milwaukee arena with a bandaged right ear. The song “God Bless the U.S.A.” welcomed the former commander-in-chief to the RNC for a third presidential nomination.
Once the music finished, delegates erupted with chants of “USA!” and “Fight!” in reference to Trump shouting, “Fight!” with a defiant fist raised immediately after he was shot on a Pennsylvania rally platform.
I’ve been shot at many many times in combat. Trump’s reaction to stop, stand up w blood running down his face & say wait wait & to look at the crowd, raise his fist & yell FIGHT FIGHT is an UNREAL/incredible reaction. That can’t be taught & as real as it gets. Pure BADASS 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/rPjpF5RuCb

The former president’s historic appearance on the first evening of the RNC came hours after Trump announced his pick for the vice-presidential nomination, Sen. J.D. Vance from Ohio.
While Republicans celebrated the opening of their 2024 convention with the grand entrance of a nominee who barely survived a gunshot to the head two days prior, President Joe Biden sat down for a live interview with Lester Holt on NBC. Biden denied he often engaged in vitriolic rhetoric that could provoke an assassination attempt on his chief political opponent.
