Read Donald Trump's full RNC speech transcript
In a more than hour-long speech, Donald Trump officially accepted his presidential nomination on Thursday, the last night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
He was introduced by Dana White, UFC CEO, and he covered several big topics including a play-by-play of his assassination attempt Saturday. He honored Corey Comperatore, the attendee who died in the rally shooting, touted his economic record, and criticized the Biden administration's immigration policy.
"I'm not supposed to be here tonight. Not supposed to be here," Trump said.
The crowd chanted back, "Yes, you are."Read the entire speech here.
"Thank you, but I'm not. And I'll tell you I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God." Trump replied.
The former president spoke to a crowd of around 50,000 delegates, attendees and media members with a bandage covering his right ear wounded Saturday. He spoke for about 90 minutes, marking the longest convention acceptance speech in the modern era and beating his previous 2016 speech run time record. He will be on the road this weekend to attend a rally in Michigan with his newly nominated running mate J.D. Vance.
