Donald Trump, despite surviving a recent assassination attempt, began the second day of the 2024 Republican Party convention with notable backing, highlighted by Elon Musk's substantial financial support. Trump's entrance at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee was marked by rapturous applause clearly showcasing his firm grip over the party faithful.

Alongside his running mate J.D. Vance, the 78-year-old former president appeared uncharacteristically subdued but visibly buoyed by the overwhelming support. The convention saw speeches from prominent figures, including Sean O'Brien of the Teamsters union, emphasizing the party's broadened base.

Meanwhile, President Biden's campaign faced renewed scrutiny. Biden urged Americans to solve their disputes at the ballot box, while pressing issues about his re-election bid and age continued to surface. The convention continues towards a crescendo with Trump's prime-time address on Thursday marking him as the Republican nominee against Biden.
