“For eight chaotic years, Republicans battled in public and private, fighting over Donald Trump’s polarizing personality, his divisive policies and his history of electoral defeats through lawsuits and leadership battles, felony convictions and suburban defections,” the New York Times reports.
“Yet even before a single balloon has dropped at their national convention this week, Republicans have united — seemingly without reservation — behind the man and his message. Across downtown Milwaukee, delegates, officials and lawmakers appeared to be taking a victory lap in the middle of a race that many believe is breaking their way, galvanized by a would-be assassin’s bullet and the chaos gripping the rival party.”
“Even Mr. Trump’s most potent Republican primary foe, Nikki Haley, was greeted on Tuesday with a standing ovation as she testified to his fitness to return to the White House — an issue she had often questioned on the campaign trail.”
