This is the big one, if you only watch one day of the convention, this is the one to catch. Trump not only officially accepts the nomination today, but it’s also his first big speech since the assassination attempt.
Will he appear humbled or contrite as he did on day 1? 🤷♂️ Hard to say, we haven’t seen many speeches by candidates after an attempt on their life.
Day 1 ALREADY saw the actual nomination vote of Donald J. Trump, the announcement of his running mate, J.D. Vance, and the appearance of an unusually somber, almost SAD looking Trump on the show floor.
Day 2 saw an… interesting speech from Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Day 3 had the Vice Presidential acceptance speech from JD Vance:

JD Vance at 5hrs:40min:10sec
Edit Longest convention speech in the modern era, beating his own records in 2016 and 2020.
Trump Speech Here:
I felt obligated to watch Vance because a) I didn’t really know who he was and 2) because I wanted to timestamp it for the megathread.
I’m watching Trump tonight too.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
