The Republican National Convention (RNC) began Monday in Milwaukee, just two days after a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally. Trump was officially nominated as the Republican Party’s candidate for President on Monday afternoon—the same day that he announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate.
