Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. President Donald Trump points to the crowd as he arrives on the second day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum on July 16, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Day two of the GOP Convention has seen many popular Republicans take the stage: Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, House Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and more.
The speakers have decried Biden’s border policies, the president’s age and a vision of a renewed America under the leadership of Trump.
One surprising guest, former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley – who had a bitter primary with the former president before backing out – received massive boos as she took the stage.
She turned the crowd around later in her speech, saying that you don’t have to ‘agree with Trump 100 percent’ to vote for him.
The alternative – Biden and Harris leading – is way worse, she explained.

‘I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear. Donald Trump has my strong endorsement,’ she said to cheers.
‘Our country is at a critical moment. We have a choice to make. For more than a year, I said a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for President Kamala Harris. After seeing the debate, everyone knows it’s true.’
‘No president can fix all our problems alone,’ she said Tuesday. ‘We have to do this together.’
‘America has an amazing ability to self-correct. In this moment, we have a chance to put aside our differences and focus on what unites us and strengthens our country.’
Her calls for unity and consolidation around Trump marks the 45th president’s total control over the Republican party.
She also sought to strengthen party unity admits growing international threats.
‘Our foreign enemies win when they see Americans hate each other.’
‘They see that today, whether it’s on college campuses or in a field in Butler, Pennsylvania. But we can conquer those fears with strength and unity.’
She also spoked about the precarious position Americans find themselves in with inflated prices and social unrest.
‘Our fellow Americans are fearful right now,’ she said. ‘Families are suffering from inflation and wages that don’t keep up with prices.’
‘Young people are being indoctrinated to think our country is racist and evil. The Jewish community is facing an obscene rise in antisemitism.’
‘Too many minorities are trapped in communities devastated by crime.’

But her reception by the former president, who gave her a kind applause and smile, may have – at least for the moment – quashed the beef between the two GOP powerhouses..>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
