On the final night of the Republican national convention, Donald Trump is set to formally accept the GOP’s nomination for president with a speech scheduled for 90 minutes. This will be Trump’s first public address since an assassination attempt on him, and he is expected to elaborate on his plans for a second term in office. Despite calls by some Democrats for him to reconsider his bid, Republicans have remained united around Trump. The convention has featured speakers attempting to cast Trump in a more positive light, emphasizing his family man image in an effort to distract from legal troubles. While right-wing policy promises have been made, conspiracy theories and extreme measures like mass deportations have not been discussed as much as expected.
During his speech, it will be interesting to see if Trump portrays himself as a unifier, touches on controversial topics such as election fraud or mass deportations, and who else he may attack aside from Joe Biden. Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, set a caring and loving tone in her address at the convention, presenting a different side of the former president. Overall, the focus of the convention seems to be making Trump appear more human and empathetic, similar to how Joe Biden presents himself as a candidate for dignity and respect.
