After the failed assassination attempt, Donald Trump was officially selected as the US Presidential candidate.

On July 15, the Republican Party officially elected Mr. Donald Trump as its candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

After winning overwhelmingly in the primary election campaign, at the Republican National Convention taking place in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), the party officially awarded the party's representative ticket to former President Trump in the election scheduled to take place on November 5.

This is the third consecutive time the Republican Party has chosen Mr. Trump as its presidential candidate.

Earlier the same day, former President Trump also announced his decision to choose Ohio's young Senator JD Vance as his "Vice President".

Senator JD Vance, full name James David Vance, was born on August 2, 1984 (age 39) in Middletown, Ohio.

Mr. JD Vance graduated from Ohio University, Yale Law School and served time in the US Marine Corps in Iraq.

He was elected to the Ohio Senate in 2022 and began his term in January 2023.

The Republican National Convention opens on July 15 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The first day of the convention focused on the economy, discussing policies related to tariffs and tax cuts proposed by candidate Donald Trump to restart the economy.

The former US president said he wanted to impose taxes on trading partners and eliminate tips, while also lowering corporate tax rates.

The Republican candidate's platform also aims to curb inflation and quickly lower consumer prices, in addition to pumping more oil, natural gas and coal.

The Republican convention agenda will also discuss measures to address illegal immigration into the United States, in part through a robust deportation program.

In addition, Mr. Trump also proposed eliminating President Joe Biden's policies in developing the electric vehicle and renewable energy markets.

In recent days, Mr. Trump has received more attention after an attempted assassination while campaigning in Butler, Pennsylvania. Mr. Trump was injured in the right ear area before being protected and escorted from the podium by Secret Service agents.
