Punchbowl News: “Former President Donald Trump, having survived a weekend assassination attempt that left two people dead including the shooter, is prepared to accept his party’s presidential nomination tonight. Trump is the first pol since Richard Nixon to get nominated for a third time by his party, and he’d be the first president since Grover Cleveland to serve non-consecutive terms.”
“It’s also the first time any party will nominate a convicted felon to be their presidential candidate.”
“Trump’s political comeback represents a hard-to-even-fathom turn of events from January 2021, when the former president left Washington in disgrace following his failed attempt to overturn the election. Congressional Republicans were eager to move on from him, hoping that their party’s voters would do the same.”
“Now, Republicans are almost completely unified behind him. Even some of Trump’s biggest former critics and rivals took turns showering him with praise from the convention stage here in Milwaukee.”
