A Dispatch from the Republican National Convention
Manage episode 429404967 series 3399207
The New Yorker contributing writer Antonia Hitchens calls Tyler Foggatt from Milwaukee to offer some details and observations from the first night of the Republican National Convention, at which Donald Trump was formally nominated to be the G.O.P.’s 2024 Presidential nominee. An assassination attempt on the former President over the weekend only heightened the messianic feeling that surrounds Trump, and gave a strange poignancy to the anointing of J. D. Vance as Trump’s running mate and the potential next leader of the MAGA movement, Hitchens says.
This week’s reading:
- “Trump, Unity, and MAGA Miracles at the R.N.C.,” by Antonia Hitchens
- “A Nation Inflamed,” by David Remnick
- “Why Donald Trump Picked J. D. Vance for Vice-President,” by Benjamin Wallace-Wells
