Recap: Trump makes first public appearance at RNC

Republicans have set their ticket: Former President Trump named Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his vice presidential pick Monday afternoon, as the GOP opened its 2024 national convention in Milwaukee.

Trump announced the choice just ahead of the Ohio delegation’s roll call vote on the convention floor. Shortly after the announcement, Trump officially became the nominee with Florida’s roll call.

The first night of the RNC will spotlight speeches from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Govs. Kristi Noem (S.D.) and Glenn Youngkin (Va.)

The convention’s kickoff comes just days after an attempted assassination on Trump at a Pennsylvania rally and hours after a federal judge dismissed a major case against him.
