Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump made his first public appearance with a large bandage on his ear at the party's convention in Milwaukee, Wisc., on Monday, after a weekend assassination attempt. Trump's right ear was grazed by a bullet in a shooting during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, in which one supporter was killed and two others were wounded.
The former president appeared moved by the crowd’s “thunderous” cheers as he stood in a box with some of his children and U.S. Senator J.D. Vance — Trump's choice for running mate — announced earlier in the day.
The fourday convention opened hours after Trump secured a major legal victory when a federal judge dismissed one of his criminal prosecutions. Trump is due to formally accept the party's nomination in a primetime speech on Thursday (July 18) and will face Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election.
