SUMMARY: Following an assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump, the atmosphere at the Republican National Convention (RNC) was unprecedented, attended by 50,000 Republicans, including Tupo native Ed Holiday. The RNC, held every four years, was uniquely significant as it marked Trump’s first public appearance since the attack. Attendees felt a profound sense of gratitude for his survival, attributing it to divine intervention. Trump accepted his presidential nomination with faith and devotion. The convention highlighted shifts in the Republican party, including growing support from African-Americans and Hispanics. In contrast, calls are increasing for President Biden to step aside as the Democratic National Convention approaches.

Tupelo native Ed Holliday was one of the 50,000 people who attended the Republican National Convention. It was the first time people saw former President Trump since the attempted assassination.
