Former President Donald Trump is set to deliver a speech at the Republican National Convention following an assassination attempt. Trump, who was grazed by a bullet at a campaign rally, is expected to adopt a more unifying tone in his address. His family and allies have indicated that the incident has had a profound impact on him, prompting a potential shift in his rhetoric.
Surrogates have suggested that Trump will show a softer side while maintaining his tough demeanor when necessary. However, there are concerns about what a more unifying message from Trump will entail and who it will target. Despite calls for unity, the Republican Party’s platform remains divisive, with promises to expel undocumented immigrants, reinstate travel bans, and close the Department of Education, among other controversial policies.
The convention attendees have embraced Trump’s defiance, with “fight, fight, fight” becoming a rallying cry. Trump will be introduced by high-profile figures like Dana White and Hulk Hogan, further emphasizing this theme of strength and resilience.
Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, there is growing division over President Joe Biden’s candidacy following a weak debate performance and his recent positive COVID-19 test. Top Democrats, including former President Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, have reportedly urged Biden to reconsider his run. Despite these challenges, Trump has seen recent legal victories, including the dismissal of a federal case related to classified documents, adding to the political drama leading up to the election.
