Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at the Republican National Convention with a bandaged ear on Monday, just two days after he was shot in an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Trump formally clinched his party’s nomination when the delegation from Florida, his adopted home state, cast its votes for his candidacy.

It took place just minutes after Trump announced he would be choosing 39-year-old Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate.

“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator JD Vance of the Great State of Ohio,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday afternoon.

The former president received a hero’s welcome at the Republican National Convention with deafening roar from the crowd and chants of “USA” as he greeted his running mate. He did not speak, as he is due to give the keynote address on Thursday.
