Chants of 'we love Trump' could be heard as he entered the RNC on night 1.
The Republican National Convention is officially underway in Milwaukee -- just two days after Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt.Trump energized the crowd Monday night by entering the arena with a bandage on his right ear after being injured during an assassination attempt Saturday. Expect more speakers Tuesday to mention what they described as the former president's strength and resilience after the shooting at his rally in Pennsylvania.
On Tuesday, the overview shifts to immigration and crime, according to Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee, with the theme of "Make America Safe Once Again." Last week, the Trump campaign and the RNC announced that the brother of Rachel Morin - a Maryland woman whom prosecutors say was killed and raped by a fugitive from El Salvador - would be one of the speakers at the convention. Officials say the suspect, Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, entered the U.S. illegally after allegedly killing a woman in his home country.
"The first person I knew that supported Donald Trump was my father. I was shocked. My entire family is racially diverse. I believed the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist," she said.
