Speakers at the Republican National Convention used more than 110,000 words over four boisterous days.

The selection of speakers and their choice of words reflected both the pointed campaign rhetoric and the rewritten platform of the Republican Party in 2024.

Excluding common and routine words, the most frequently spoken words were:

Words on the Economy

Economic concerns were a recurring theme of the convention. Speakers stressed the “skyrocketing” or “shocking” prices of gas and groceries, with Senator Rick Scott of Florida describing a vision of $10 a gallon if President Biden wins a second term.

Frequently used words when talking about the economy included:

Words on Immigration

Speakers described “millions of illegal aliens” crossing the southern border, promoting the idea of a migrant crime surge with descriptions of “murderers and rapists” and “criminals and terrorists.”

The Most Words?

Donald J. Trump spoke 12,219 words over 92 minutes, the longest acceptance speech timed by the American Presidency Project since at least 1956.

The only known Republican acceptance speech with a comparable word count was William Howard Taft’s in 1908. That speech ran to 12,055 words and reflected the Republican Party’s platform of a century ago, with repeated mentions of “business prosperity,” “anti-trust law” and “interstate railroads”:

Missing Words

The Republican Party’s policy positions on some controversial matters have become less popular with voters, most notably abortion restrictions and attacks on the Affordable Care Act. Speakers steered clear of such talking points.

The word “abortion” did not appear in the 110,000 transcribed words, though the phrase “born and unborn” appeared twice, and “pro-life” and “pro-choice” each appeared once.

“Health care” was mentioned three times, and there were only four references to “prescriptions” or “prescription drugs.”

More Words to Come

The Democratic National Convention will be held Aug. 19-22 in Chicago, though it is not yet confirmed whether Mr. Biden or someone else will be the nominee.

As the Republican National Convention drew to a close, the GOP left Milwaukee unified behind their White House nominee, former President Trump, and his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.

This is in stark contrast with the Democratic party, with President Biden reportedly on the cusp of withdrawing from the 2024 campaign in the face of a crescendoing drumbeat of calls to drop out in the aftermath of a lackluster debate performance and overall concerns about his cognitive ability and vitality.

Here are some takeaways from the Republicans’ four-day convention, which was held in the critical state of Wisconsin, whose voters could determine who wins the White House, and concluded late Thursday.

All in for Trump

Unlike in 2016, when Trump first ran for president, the GOP was united behind his candidacy. Moderates have either left the party or joined his cause. The convention delegates and speakers were wholehearted Trump supporters. His top primary rivals effusively backed him from the stage, unlike his first run for the White House.

“For more than a year, I said a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for President Kamala Harris,” Nikki Haley, Trump’s former ambassador to the United Nations, said on Tuesday. “After seeing the debate, everyone knows it’s true. If we have four more years of Biden or a single day of Harris, our country will be badly worse off. For the sake of our nation, we have to go with Donald Trump.”

References to divine intervention

The party was expected to be united going into the convention because the former president has effectively taken control of it. However, the assassination attempt on Saturday that was millimeters away from being successful further cemented this unity. Delegates and convention speakers frequently referred to divine intervention as being the reason Trump was not mortally wounded.

And they cited his defiant response after being injured — standing up, blood streaming down his face, fist in the air, American flag waving behind him, repeatedly telling his supporters to “Fight!” — as proof of Trump’s strength. Indeed, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” became a rallying cry at the convention.

“He didn’t just show his character. He showed America’s character,” Donald Trump Jr. said Wednesday. “When he stood up, with blood on his face, and the flag at his back, the world saw a spirit that could never be broken. And that is the true spirit of America.”

Vance cements Trump’s hold on the party

Trump Jr. spoke shortly before Vance. Trump’s selection of the Ohio senator, a one-time critic turned MAGA acolyte, over more seasoned elected officials is widely viewed as cementing the GOP in his image. Vance, the author of the bestseller “Hillbilly Elegy,” is a younger, more affable version of the former president.

“President Trump represents America’s last, best hope to restore what, if lost, may never be found again: a country where a working-class boy born far from the halls of power can stand on this stage as the next vice president of the United States of America,” Vance said on Wednesday.

The party of law and order?

The unspoken context of the convention was that the GOP — the party of law and order — has lined up behind a nominee who has been charged with dozens of felonies, and their convention prominently featured multiple people who took part in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol or were election deniers.

“What happened on January 6 almost cost me my life and brought our democracy to the brink,” said Michael Fanone, a former Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police officer who is a council member of Courage for America, an anti-Trump group. “This is a moment to come together and oppose those who call for violence in politics, but the RNC’s decision to give a platform to the same people who rioted against our democracy on January 6 does the opposite.”

The most prominent seats at the 2024 Republican National Convention were three rows of white chairs in Donald J. Trump’s V.I.P. box. For each of the convention’s four nights, members of the Trump family and prominent guests streamed in and out, joining the former president as he took in the show.

Here are some of the people spotted in the box each night.

Monday

Mr. Trump entered the arena triumphantly on the convention’s first night, just two days after he was shot in the ear by a would-be assassin. Flanking him were his newly announced vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, and Representative Byron Donalds of Florida, one of the evening’s speakers.

Members of Mr. Trump’s family, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, who presided over the roll-call vote formally nominating Mr. Trump, also appeared in the box.

Tuesday

Several Senate candidates and House leaders joined Mr. Trump in the box over the course of Tuesday night. Many of them also spoke from the stage, making the case for delivering control of Congress to Republicans in November.

The night’s final speaker was Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee and Mr. Trump’s daughter-in-law. As the first Trump family member to speak from the convention stage, she talked about the attempt on Mr. Trump’s life in personal terms and focused on his roles as a father and grandfather.

Mr. Trump responded with applause, flanked by Mr. Vance and Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the House majority leader.

Wednesday

Mr. Trump began his evening at the arena seated next to Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia, and to Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, one of the finalists to be Mr. Trump’s running mate who was ultimately passed over.

Other allies with speaking slots also appeared in the section, including Callista Gingrich, the former ambassador to the Holy See, and her husband, Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and 2012 presidential candidate.

Mr. Vance wrapped up the third night of the convention with a nearly one-hour speech introducing himself and his economic vision to the nation. Mr. Trump watched his running mate while seated next to Mr. Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, a lawyer, and Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota, another person who was under consideration to join Mr. Trump on the ticket.

Several Trump family members appeared in the box at that time. Kai Trump, 17, Mr. Trump’s eldest grandchild, also spoke that evening, characterizing him as “just a normal grandpa.”

Thursday

By the time Mr. Trump delivered his address, the box was largely filled with his family members. Mr. Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, who both served as senior advisors to Mr. Trump during his first term, made their first appearances in the arena Thursday.

His wife, Melania, also made her first appearance of the week, taking a seat in the box just before her husband gave his acceptance speech.
