Trump Accepts GOP Nomination with 93-Minute Speech

Former President Donald Trump accepted the GOP presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention with a 93-minute speech, the longest in modern convention history. Describing a recent assassination attempt, Trump recounted how a bullet grazed his ear during a rally in Pennsylvania, leading to a more somber and unifying tone in his address. He called for national unity, urging Americans to heal societal divisions, and outlined his populist agenda focused on immigration and economic policy. However, the speech soon shifted to his characteristic aggressive rhetoric, targeting political opponents and revisiting familiar grievances. The address received mixed reactions, with some praising the emotional impact of the first half and others criticizing the return to divisive themes. Despite the assassination attempt, Trump emphasized his determination to continue his campaign and lead the nation.
