Donald Trump selects Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice presidential running mate at the Republican Party’s national convention in Milwaukee. Trump survives an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania and secures a legal victory as federal charges are dismissed. Vance, once a Trump critic, now supports the former president’s false claims of election fraud.

Trump, set to accept the party’s nomination on Thursday, will challenge President Biden in the upcoming election. Following the assassination attempt, Trump plans to revise his speech to focus on national unity. Judge Aileen Cannon dismisses federal charges against Trump, adding to his legal victories.

Trump and Biden, both in their 70s, face a close election rematch as opinions polls show a tight race. Trump’s legal wins, including the dismissal of federal charges, provide him with momentum. The former president is also dealing with other legal challenges related to his 2020 election defeat. Trump aims to bring the country together with his revised acceptance speech.
