Lara Trump addresses assassination attempt in final speech of the night
In the final speech of the night, RNC co-chair Lara Trump largely focused on the assassination attempt on her father-in-law.
"It may not be a surprise that I actually had a very different speech that I was prepared to give up here tonight," she began. "That all changed at 6:11 on Saturday evening. Nothing prepares you for a moment like that."
Lara Trump recounted how she grabbed the remote to shut off the television so her children wouldn't see the images of their grandfather.
She said the incident was a "jarring reminder that we, as Americans, must always remember there is more that unites us than divides us."
She thanked the former president for his "resilience," calling him a "lion," while calling on voters to cast their ballot for him.
"In that split second on Saturday, Donald Trump reminded us all of that very history and who we are at our core as a nation. That is the Donald Trump that I know," she said.
