Donald Trump is now officially the Republican nominee for President of the United States in 2024, after a roll call vote during the opening session of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Trump's son Eric announced earlier Monday that he'd be the one pledging the delegates that would put his dad over the 1,215 delegate mark.
I am honored to announce that at 3:30pmET, alongside my family, I will cast the vote which will declare Donald J Trump the 2024 Republican Nominee for President of the United States.
