WATCH: Donald J. Trump's 2024 RNC acceptance speech
A subdued and solemn Trump accepted the GOP nomination for president with a promise to unify a divided country.
“As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny,” he said. “We rise together, or we fall apart. I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.”
It’s his first public address since Saturday’s rally in Butler, Pa., where a bullet struck his ear, and one attendee was killed and two others injured.
Trump said in the days leading up to this address that he rewrote his grand nominating address to strike a tone of unity after the near-death experience.

Trump’s 2020 and 2016 speeches
He’s had the end-of-convention slot twice before, in 2016 as then-candidate Trump, and in 2020 as the incumbent President.
Back in 2016, Trump focused on America’s struggles with crime, terrorism and immigration, and his plan for addressing those issues. NPR annotated Trump’s remarks that night — and when necessary — did a little fact-checking.
In 2020, Trump was speaking from a different vantage point. In his speech that year, he harshly criticized then-candidate Joe Biden, rallied against “cancel culture” and repeatedly invoked a sinister image of a “socialist agenda.”
In 2020, the RNC came after the DNC, so Trump was able to directly rebut the vision Biden presented of America’s future. NPR annotated Trump’s 2020 remarks (as well as Biden’s, if you’re interested.)

Former Pa. high school football star, record-setting college QB dies at 52
Former Altoona Area High School multi-sport star Steve Taneyhill died this past week after a battle with cancer. He was 52 years old.
Taneyhill went on to attend the University of South Carolina and played quarterback for the Gamecocks following his impressive high school career.
South Carolina announced Taneyhill’s death Monday morning.
“Gamecock Nation mourns the loss of Steve Taneyhill, a pillar of Gamecock history,” South Carolina posted on X. “Our thoughts are with his loved ones. Rest in peace, Steve.”
Taneyhill played for the Gamecocks from 1992-95, setting numerous school records during that time.
He finished his college career with 8,782 passing yards and 62 passing touchdowns. He was inducted into the University of South Carolina Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006.
Steve Taneyhill was named the Freshman of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 1992.
In 1994, he led South Carolina to its first bowl win in program history as the Gamecocks beat West Virginia in the Carquest Bowl.
Taneyhill led South Carolina in passing all four of his college football seasons. He finished his college career with eight 300-yard passing games, including six during his senior year.
Following his playing career, Taneyhill was a successful high school football coach at both Chesterfield High School and Union High School in South Carolina.
Gamecocks fans took to X and shared memories of Taneyhill following his death.
“Gamecock Football wasn’t cool when they entered the SEC. But, Steve Taneyhill made it ok to feel like they belonged,” one fan said. “He was a great, honest guy. Thank you, Steve. Thanks so much, man.”
Former South Carolina assistant coach Justin Stepp added: “Absolutely loved Steve Taneyhill! Was an incredible player and even better person! Praying for his family & those that were close with him!”
