Republicans opened the second day of their national convention in Milwaukee, ready to hear from Senate candidates, House leadership and former Trump rivals.
Riding a wave of enthusiasm after an opening day that included former President Trump choosing Sen. JD Vance (Ohio) as his running mate and Trump attending the event just two days after his assassination attempt, the convention’s mood was jovial and brimming with confidence, a sharp contrast to the last time there was an in-person GOP convention eight years ago.
On Tuesday night, the convention will hear from a last-minute speaker: Nikki Haley. She was added to the speaking schedule on Sunday. A week prior to the convention, she released her delegates and encouraged them to vote for Trump. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis follows her, both a bid to foster unity in the party.
