In May, Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts related to a criminal hush money scheme in New York. However, his allies focused this week on the failed assassination attempt against him, which has strengthened his support base.
Trump stated that the shooting incident led him to change his acceptance speech. Initially planned to be filled with attacks on President Joe Biden, the speech will now focus more on uniting the country. He is said to have written the speech himself.
