Watch as protesters marched in Milwaukee as the Republican National Convention 2024 got underway on Monday (15 July).

Donald Trump arrived in Wisconsin, to attend this year’s RNC, a matter of hours after surviving a dramatic attempt on his life.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee will be coronated by his party as its 2024 candidate at the convention and will finally unveil the identity of his running mate.

JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Doug Burgum are thought to be the front-runners to be his running mate.

Trump was speaking at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night when a would-be assassin opened fire on the stage. Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet but otherwise escaped unscathed.

The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was killed at the scene by Secret Service agents, but not before he had shot dead one bystander and critically injured two more.
