Donald Trump, two days after an unsuccessful assassination attempt, was officially introduced as the Republican candidate for the United States presidential election and, as a first step, announced Senator J.D. Vance from Ohio as his vice-presidential candidate. The former President of the United States announced Mr. Vance's nomination on Monday, July 16, via 'Truth Social,' his own social media platform. Mr. Trump wrote: 'J.D. will continue to fight for the Constitution as Vice President, stand with our military, and do everything he can to help me restore America's greatness.' Senator J.D. Vance, a 39-year-old Republican from Ohio, was one of the main contenders for this position. Earlier, Reuters and the Associated Press reported that Marco Rubio, the Republican Senator from Florida, and Doug Burgum, the Governor of North Dakota, were removed from consideration for Mr. Trump's vice-presidential slot. The former President introduced his running mate at the beginning of the Republican National Convention, which is being held for four days in Milwaukee. The Republican Party announced that he had garnered enough votes from party representatives in the states, thus officially nominating Mr. Trump as their candidate. This development comes as Donald Trump was the target of an unsuccessful assassination attempt during his campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, an event that has overshadowed the upcoming presidential election in November. The motives of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old assailant, remain unclear. He was shot dead by U.S. Secret Service agents immediately after the shooting incident. Joe Biden, the Democratic President of the United States, and prominent figures from both the Democratic and Republican parties condemned the attack. Mr. Biden also called for a calming of the political atmosphere in America and unity among the people of this country. Donald Trump has also called on the American people to unite. The day after the assassination attempt, he traveled to Milwaukee to attend the Republican National Convention.
