Donald Trump predicted an “incredible victory” Thursday in accepting the Republican presidential nomination from a party euphoric over his escape from assassination and buoyed by the apparent implosion of Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. “We will have an incredible victory, and we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country,” Trump said at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. He seemed tonight to be pretty energized,” 64-year-old Terry Arnold from the Seattle area, told AFP at her first convention. And, despite aides promising that Trump would not even say Biden in the speech, Trump did refer to his opponent by name and “the damage” he has done. Senior Trump advisor Jason Miller told AFP that “nothing fundamentally changes” for Trump if Biden drops out.
