Former President Donald Trump entered the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to a roaring welcome from the crowd of thousands of Republican delegates, only two days after barely surviving an assassin’s bullet in Pennsylvania.
One of his ears was covered by a rectangular bandage as he entered Fiserv Forum on Monday, while people chanted “USA! USA!” and “Fight! Fight!” Hours earlier, he had received the official nomination from the party, after all state and territorial delegations announced their votes.

“Our Alaskan delegation and the arena as a whole erupted when the President came into the building. It was truly a hero’s welcome. We have the energy, we have the enthusiasm, and we have the candidate to lead our country into the future,” said Alaska Republican Party Chairwoman Carmela Warfield, who leads the Alaska delegation.
Nick Begich commented on how the arena was filled with emotion.
“Donald Trump was very clearly emotionally affected by the overwhelming support of thousands from across the country. Here is a man who only two days prior survived an attempted assassination and who knows undeniably it was by divine providence alone that he is alive today. America supports Donald Trump. America needs Donald Trump and we are united behind him,” Begich said.
