Delegates at the Republican National Convention (RNC), such as Stacey Goodman and Joe Neglia from Arizona, showed their support for former President Trump by wearing ear bandages similar to the one Trump wore after surviving an assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally. Neglia explained that he wore the bandage to honor Trump and show solidarity with him, making both male and female versions of the bandages. Other attendees also sported the look as a tribute to Trump.
The convention featured speeches from various Republican figures, including Sen. Ted Cruz, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Sen. Marco Rubio, and others. Trump, accompanied by his newly selected running mate Sen. JD Vance, attended the event on the second day and sat in the family box. The speakers emphasized issues such as immigration, crime, and the fentanyl crisis, aligning with the convention’s theme of “Make America Safe Again.”
Throughout the event, delegates expressed gratitude for Trump’s survival and criticized President Biden’s approach to crime and border security. Rubio praised Trump for inspiring a political movement that has united the Republican Party behind him. Former rivals like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis have also endorsed Trump, further solidifying his support within the party.
Trump is expected to deliver his acceptance speech on the final night of the convention, officially becoming the Republican Party’s nominee for president. The atmosphere at the convention was filled with enthusiasm and appreciation for Trump’s resilience in the face of danger. Delegates and speakers alike reiterated their commitment to supporting Trump and his agenda for the future.
