Former US President Donald Trump has been officially nominated as the Republican presidential candidate. His nomination became official after he secured a majority of votes from Republican National Committee delegates in Milwaukee last night. This marks Trump’s third consecutive run after winning in 2016 and losing to President Joe Biden in 2020. The US Presidential election is scheduled for November this year.
Trump announced Ohio Senator JD Vance as his vice-presidential running mate. The 39-year-old Vance brings experience in the US military. He is a former venture capitalist and author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” an autobiography. By picking Senator Vance, Trump is showing he is focusing on key states in the Midwest that are up for grabs in the next election, like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Vance’s selection comes at a turbulent time for the campaign, following an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally on Saturday.
