nsnbc : U.S. presidential hopeful Donald Trump was officially named as the Republican presidential nominee on Tuesday, after having rebuffed attempts from anti-Trump delegates to change party rules at the beginning of the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Trump’s nomination was announced Tuesday night by House Speaker Paul Ryan, who said that “The chair announces that Donald J. Trump, having received a majority of these votes, entitled to be cast at this convention, has been selected as the Republican Party nominee for president of the United States”. Trump, a real estate mogul, won the nomination as party delegates from the country’s 50 states, five territories and Washington, D.C. cast their votes.
Donald Trump Jr., the son of the Republican Party candidate announced New York’s delegation votes, allowing his father to secure 1,237 delegate votes he needed to become the Republican presidential nominee and contest the presidential election in November. Congratulating his father, Trump Jr. said: “It is my honor to be able to throw Donald Trump over the top in the delegate count tonight”. Republicans also nominated Indiana Governor Mike Pence as Trump’s vice presidential running mate. Donald Trump accepted the nomination.
He will reportedly make an official acceptance speech on Thursday. However, Trump commented that he is proud to be the Republican part nominee for president of the United States. Trump asserted that “we are going to win the presidency and bring real leadership back to Washington”.
Democratic and Republican Party Leaders Call for Unity
The leaders of the Republican, or Grand Old Party (GOP) called for unity among party members and republican voters. House Speaker Paul Ryan described the schism of the Trump supporters and the “Never Trump” factions as arguments that show “the signs of life” in the Republican Party. Ryan added: “What do you say that we unify this party at this crucial moment when unity is everything? … This year’s surprises and dramatic turns can end in the finest possible way”.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson also called for a united front to defeat Hillary Clinton in November.
The call for unity in the GOP echoes the call for unity among Democratic Party ranks after Bernie Sanders was defeated by Hillary Clinton. The “American Democracy’s Two-Party System” has kicked into gear, ready to run any other parties and independents “off the track” until November when Americans, as many non-U.S. citizens perceive it, can either chose between Hernie and Dump or to boycott the election and the two-party system.
