Donald Trump has officially been named the Republican presidential nominee after securing enough delegate votes at the Republican National Convention, following an attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump had been considered the presumptive nominee for several months, but it was the votes from RNC delegates in Milwaukee that confirmed his nomination on Monday afternoon.
Trump has chosen 39-year-old Ohio Senator JD Vance as his vice presidential candidate. This decision honors a former staunch critic who has transformed into one of his most reliable supporter in Congress.
Trump reportedly crossed a key threshold during a procedural counting of Republican delegates on Monday afternoon, during the four-day Republican National Convention, making him the official nominee.
