  • Summary

  • Guest: The Toronto Star’s Richard Warnica, reporting from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

    Less than a week after a would-be assassin wounded former U.S. President Donald Trump, he accepted his party’s nomination to run for president again on a stage in Wisconsin. In between, he selected a vice-presidential candidate, created a new political fashion trend for ear bandages, and watched as Hulk Hogan ripped his shirt off and invoked Trumpamania. The Republican Party, the Star’s Richard Warnica reports from the convention floor, was absolutely giddy in their confidence going into the election as their Democratic opponents muddled through an attempt to get President Joe Biden to step down. If there was hope for Democrats, it might be they now expect a new candidate, and that the speech Trump ended the week with took most of the air out of the room, dragging on and on as a new message of unity quickly gave wave to the same old scaremongering, clothed in new shades of boredom.
