The 2024 Republican National Convention resumes Thursday in Milwaukee for its final day after Wednesday saw Sen. JD Vance officially accept his vice presidential nomination after Trump tapped the Ohio lawmaker as his running mate earlier this week.
During his acceptance speech, Vance called on Americans to send Trump back to the White House and introduced himself to voters across the country.
"I pledge to every American - no matter your party - I will give everything I have. To serve you and to make this country a place where every dream you have for yourself, your family, and your country will be possible once again," Vance said.
Wednesday also saw some of Trump's biggest allies, such as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott , and his son Donald Trump Jr. take the stage to make their pitch to voters across the country.
The convention is underway in the shadows of an assassination attempt against Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the weekend. Trump was injured in the attack, and a rally attendee died as he was trying to shield his family.
Thursday is the final day of the convention. Here's what you need to know, including the full schedule for the day and how to watch.
