US election: Trump picks VP as failed assassination investigated
Manage episode 429136664 series 3533342
We're at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee for a defining moment in the US presidential race after the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. Republican and Democratic leadership have called for unity, and a cooling of rhetoric. But is this consistent with the mood of the American public, in an election campaign which is so highly charged and so divisive? And we’ll find out all about Donald Trump’s new vice-presidential running mate JD Vance.
Caitríona Perry speaks with North America correspondent Tom Bateman and US reporter Mike Wendling.
