Calls for unity ahead of Republican convention

President Biden and former President Trump both call for calm after assassination attempt.

Two days after surviving an assassination attempt, Donald Trump is in Milwaukee, joining thousands of supporters and political heavyweights at the start of the Republican National Convention. The four day event will culminate with his acceptance speech as the Republican candidate to contest November’s presidential election. Mr Trump has signalled that he has rewritten his speech to switch from denouncing President Biden to call for national unity, after the attempt on his life. Both men have said America must now come together.

We'll be in Milwaukee where the Republican National Convention is being held. We'll also hear from a friend of Donald Trump.
