Nearly 2,500 delegates are gathered in Milwaukee this week for a roll call vote to select the Republican presidential nominee, with a majority expected to support former US President Donald Trump. Trump had clinched a majority of delegates in March, but the official nomination is after the roll call. Despite this, a few delegates are set to go to former candidate Nikki Haley. Trump sustained injuries in a shooting at a Pennsylvania rally, where one person was killed and two injured. The shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by police shortly after. Trump called for national unity in response to the attack. Republican lawmakers are investigating how the shooter evaded Secret Service and fired shots during the rally. This incident is likely to lead to a review of Trump’s security, potentially increasing protection levels to that of a sitting president. During his campaign, local police assist the Secret Service in securing venues for Trump’s events.
