Donald Trump made a triumphant entrance on the first night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday, July 15, 2024.
Trump walked into the Fiserv Forum in downtown Milwaukee, Reuters reported, with a thick bandage over the ear as the crowd chanted 'Fight! Fight! Fight!'
The former president, Reuters reported, settled into a box with his elder sons Donald Jr. and Eric and US Senator J D Vance, who Trump declared as his vice presidential nominee.
