Republican National Convention in Milwaukee Shifts Focus

The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee showcases a party united behind Donald Trump, with supporters fervently elevating him to a quasi-religious status after a recent assassination attempt. The event marks a transformation of the GOP towards a full embrace of Trump's leadership, with dissent silenced and a focus on unity and loyalty. Trump's potential second term is seen as an opportunity for him to pursue hard-edged policies without internal resistance. The convention signals a shift towards economic populism and away from traditional conservative values, reflecting a significant realignment within the party. Trump's choice of running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, underscores a move towards a more MAGA-focused Republican Party, sidelining other potential candidates like Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. Marco Rubio.
