From Republican nominee Donald Trump to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, those who usually have a lot to say about abortion were remarkably silent on the issue.

At the 2024 Republican National Convention, photographer Bruce Gilden captures the party faithful lionizing the former—and, they hope, future—president.

The former president, subdued in recounting last week’s assassination attempt, went right back to dishing out MAGA red meat. Despite talk of “unity” at the Republican National Convention, underneath was the same old right-wing agenda.

The Ohio Senator and Hillbilly Elegy author took the stage as Donald Trump’s running mate on Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention, where he leaned into his personal biography and struck a populist tone — while side-stepping some issues, like abortion, where he holds extreme views.

The Florida governor, who suffered a brutal primary defeat to Donald Trump, was met with thunderous applause during his Tuesday speech, in which he heaped praise on the former president while calling Joe Biden a “figurehead.”

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump has rattled the nation and potentially upended a presidential election. Here in Milwaukee, there’s tension and uncertainty, but also a show-must-go-on sentiment among the politicos, attendees, and journalists descending on the midwestern city.

The president’s message comes as prominent Republicans have cast blame on Democrats and the media for the shooting—and as investigators have yet to establish the 20-year-old suspected gunman’s motive.

The Daily Show correspondent talks to Vanity Fair about what he’s learned chronicling the MAGA faithful and how these quadrennial spectacles provide “such a surreal look at American politics.”

As Joe Biden clings to the top of the ticket, and chaos consumes the Democratic Party, Donald Trump’s allies envision a November landslide. “It will be an absolute bloodbath,” says one.
