Trump's Rivals Rally Amidst Unity Display at GOP Convention

At the GOP convention, former rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis endorsed Donald Trump, showcasing party unity post-assassination attempt. The event highlighted immigration concerns and presidential age debates, setting the stage for Trump's nomination acceptance. Simultaneously, Biden reaffirmed his commitment to the 2024 campaign despite party tensions.

At the GOP convention on Tuesday, former rivals Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis offered strong endorsements of Donald Trump, showcasing unity just days after an assassination attempt on the former president. Haley, previously critical of Trump, urged her supporters to vote for him over Democratic President Joe Biden 'for the sake of our nation.'

DeSantis received a warm welcome as he criticized Biden's age and suitability for the presidency. Trump, who was present, unveiled his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, a former critic now turned supporter, solidifying a united front against the Democrats.

The tone of the evening was aggressive, with GOP speakers condemning Biden's border policies and calling the migrant situation an 'invasion.' Despite the divisive rhetoric, recent data shows a drop in arrests and no higher crime rate among immigrants compared to native-born Americans. The event underscored the stark partisan divide as Trump prepares for his nomination acceptance speech.
