Ohio Sen J.D. Vance will join Trump on Republican ticket as VP

By Paul Steinhauser , Brandon Gillespie | Fox News With an eye toward the future of a Republican Party dominated by former President Trump and his legions of MAGA supporters, Trump has named 39-year-old Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate on the GOP'S 2024 national ticket. The former president, who made his greatly anticipated and high-stakes announcement on Monday as the Republican National Convention kicked off in swing-state Wisconsin's largest city, will now share the ticket with one of his top supporters in the Senate and a one-time Trump critic who has transformed into a leading America First disciple. Vance, a former venture capitalist and the author of the bestselling memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," before running for elective office, was one of a handful o...

Day One: What to expect as Republicans descend on Milwaukee

By Haisten Willis | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump‘s nomination becomes official this week as tens of thousands of Republicans gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with festivities beginning just two days after Trump miraculously survived an assassination attempt that left his right ear slashed and a supporter dead from gunshot wounds.

Trump calls for supporters, America to ‘fear not’ and ‘stand united’

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Former President Donald J. Trump called upon America to "stand united" in an early-morning Truth Social post Sunday, following an assassination attempt on his life Saturday. Mr. Trump had begun only brief remarks Saturday afternoon in Butler, Penn., when shots from an assassin's rifle, interrupting a campaign rally in rural, western Pennsylvania, could be heard on TV broadcasts. "We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our faith and defiant in the face of wickedness," Mr. Trump wrote on his social media platform. "Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed."

Is Trump eyeing an Apprentice-style VP reveal at convention? Even his closest aides claim not to know pick

By MERIDITH MCGRAW and NATALIE ALLISON | Politico Donald Trump’s aides are discussing having the former president reveal his running mate on stage at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday night, according to two people familiar with the planning. The planning is still fluid, aides stressed. The finalists are expected to be at the convention, and if Trump decides to keep quiet over the weekend, there could be a reality show-style reveal on the convention’s opening night. It would be a dramatic end to his monthslong casting call for a running mate. The choice remains so closely held that even his top advisers insist they remain uncertain about who Trump will pick.

RNC Chair Michael Whatley promises convention showcasing Trump’s strength, Biden’s weakness

By Seth McLaughlin | The Washington Times The head of the Republican National Committee says the challenges confronting Democrats this election cycle run far deeper than President Biden’s physical health. Michael Whatley, who took over the RNC in March, said the intense focus on Mr. Biden’s cognitive decline discounts the depth to which the Democratic vision has turned off voters of all stripes. “There’s not a single Democrat that they’re going to put in place of Joe Biden that’s going to change a single one of the policies that have absolutely crushed American families,” Mr. Whatley told The Washington Times in an interview Thursday.

Two of those people told POLITICO that, as of Wednesday morning, the plans had changed and DeSantis is now in the mix for a spot.
