Eko Hot Blog reports that Former United States President Donald Trump was officially nominated as the Republican Party’s presidential candidate for the November election on Monday.

This was confirmed at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

EDITOR’S PICK

According to Al Jazeera, the roll call is still ongoing at the convention, even though Trump has already secured enough delegates to be the party’s nominee.

Trump becomes the first convicted felon to be a major-party presidential nominee.

An overwhelming majority of convention delegates had pledged to support Trump after his dominant performance in the primaries. Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and one-time Republican challenger to Trump, released her delegates earlier this month and encouraged them to back Trump in Milwaukee.

Members of his party, including some presidential hopefuls, denounced Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection and his attempts to overturn his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden.

He was seen by some as politically toxic after Republicans lost the House and Senate during his presidency. Trump was also partially blamed in 2022 for Republicans’ failure to win back the Senate and smaller-than-expected margin of victory in winning the House.

Then came a series of criminal indictments. In New York, he was convicted in May for covering up hush money payments to a p*rn star.

In Washington and Georgia, federal and state prosecutors brought charges related to his effort to subvert the 2020 election. And in Florida, he was charged for hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and then obstructing the probe.
