After months of campaigning and securing delegate votes, former President Donald Trump has officially become the Republican Party’s nominee for the 2020 presidential election.
During the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, Trump received enough delegate votes to surpass the required 1,276 votes needed to secure the nomination. This announcement was met with cheers and applause from the delegates in attendance.
Trump’s nomination comes as no surprise, as he has been the presumptive nominee since securing enough delegates in March. However, this official vote solidifies his position as the Republican Party’s chosen candidate for the upcoming election.
In his acceptance speech, Trump thanked his supporters and highlighted his accomplishments during his first term as president. He also took the opportunity to criticize his opponent, Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and his policies.
The Republican National Convention has been a mix of in-person and virtual events due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Trump’s nomination was announced in a roll call vote, with delegates from each state and territory casting their votes remotely.
Trump’s nomination marks the start of the general election campaign, where he will face off against Biden in a highly anticipated race. The election is set to take place on November 3rd, and both candidates have been actively campaigning in key battleground states.
As the Republican Party’s official nominee, Trump will now focus on rallying his supporters and gaining the support of undecided voters in the coming months. The outcome of the election will have a significant impact on the future of the United States and its policies.
With the nomination now official, all eyes will be on the upcoming presidential debates and the final outcome of the election. Stay tuned for more updates on the 2020 presidential race.
