Republican convention focuses on immigration a day after a bandaged Trump makes triumphant entrance

The Republican National Convention resumes with a focus on immigration. The issue is central to former President Donald Trump’s political brand that helped endear him to the GOP base when he began his first campaign in 2015. Trump appeared triumphantly at the convention's opening night Monday with a bandage over his right ear, two days after surviving an attempted assassination. Republicans have nominated Trump to lead their presidential ticket and cheered enthusiastically after he unveiled Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate. Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley hails the ticket as an ideal team to defeat President Joe Biden and Democrats in November. The RNC resumes Tuesday in Milwaukee.
