Former President Donald Trump on Thursday night accepted the Republican nomination for president for the third time in a keynote speech that set a record for the Republican National Convention (RNC).
Trump’s address effectively signaled the end of the four-day convention that officially settled the GOP presidential ticket. The former president <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/live-blog/rnc-trump-republican-convention-live-updates-rcna161245/rcrd47080?canonicalCard=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke</a> for more than 90 minutes in a broad-ranging address that began with him recounting his near-assassination at his campaign rally on Saturday. At the end of his speech, Trump was joined on stage by his wife, Melania, and the Trump family.

During his speech, Trump honored Corey Comperatore, a retired firefighter who died on Saturday shielding his wife and daughter during the assassination attempt against Trump.

Tragically, the shooter claimed the life of one of our fellow Americans, Corey Comperatore, and seriously wounded two other great warriors, David Dutch and James Copenhaver.

One of the key themes throughout the speech was unity and a promise to represent every American, whether Trump received their votes or not.
“To every citizen — whether you are young or old, a man or woman, Democrat, Republican, or independent, black or white, Asian or Hispanic — I extend to you a hand of loyalty and friendship,” Trump said.

Trump attributed his surviving the assassination attempt – during which a bullet tore his right ear – to divine intervention. He relayed what took place from his perspective for the first and what he said would be the last time.

The final day of the convention also featured personal stories of Americans suffering from President Joe Biden’s policies and leadership, a staple throughout the convention. Real estate investor Steve Witkoff, a longtime friend of Trump, spoke of his son’s death from opioids.
