 News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Rich Thomason. Former President Trump is once again a Republican presidential nominee. He brought the crowd to its feet the other day at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, introduced as the soon-to-be 47th President of the United States. Here on the opening day of the GOP convention, Trump captured a majority of votes from delegates during a roll call of states. It makes Trump the Republican standard-bearer for the third consecutive election.
