Former President Donald Trump, who has been the presumptive Republican nominee for months, received enough delegate votes on Monday to officially become the party's nominee.

The former president, who survived an attempted assassination two days ago, garnered a majority of votes from delegates at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Earlier on Monday, Trump announced that he has chosen Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, ending months of speculation on his vice president pick.

Vance, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022 and sworn into office in January 2023, was a fierce Trump critic in 2016 but has since become an ally of the former president.

On the same day, thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Milwaukee to protest against the Republican National Convention taking place in the city this week.

Trump is due to formally accept the party's nomination in a prime-time address on Thursday and will challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election.
