Less than 48 hours after his assassination, Donald Trump became the official candidate of the Republican Party for President of the United States of America (USA) in November, and when he took the stage at the convention of the Republican Party in Milwaukee, the crowd greeted him with shouts: "Fight, fight , fight".

Trump had a bandage over his ear.

It was the exclamation that Trump also uttered when he was shot in the right ear 48 hours ago, the BBC reports in Serbian. After being shot on stage at a previous rally in Pennsylvania, Trump collapsed, then bloodied, surrounded by security, raised his fist in the air and chanted: "Fight, fight, fight."

While coming to the stage in Milwaukee, Trump first shook hands with journalist Tucker Carlson, and then stood next to J.D. Vance, whom he designated as the candidate for vice president of the USA just before the rally.

JD Vance is a senator from Ohio who was once a great opponent of Trump, but in recent years has become one of his loudest supporters and collaborators.

The presidential elections in America will be held in November, and it is expected to be a repeat of those from 2020, when the rivals were Trump and the current president of the USA, Joseph Biden.

Biden then beat Trump.

For now, Biden is the only candidate of the Democratic Party, which will have a national convention in August, although in the previous weeks there has been increasing pressure on him to withdraw due to concerns about his physical and mental abilities, which he refuses.

Model and rapper Amber Rose, who switched sides, also spoke at the rally in Milwaukee.

The former Trump critic talked about why and how she joined the "Make America Great Again" movement, or as she put it: "I put on a red hat" (red is the color of the Republicans).

"The truth is that the media lied to us about Donald Trump," she said.

"I know that because I believed those lies for a long time. And that's why I'm standing here now because I want to make things right."

She said that when she met Trump, "he was kind and generous and incredibly funny."

"Trump supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay or straight - it's all love."

In an interview with the Washington Examiner ahead of the rally in Milwaukee, Trump said that he had planned to give a different speech, but that he now had the opportunity to "unite the country" which he would focus on more than attacking rival Joseph Biden.

Current President Biden called on the country to unite and resolve political differences "peacefully" at the polling station.

In one of the rare addresses from the Oval Office, Biden said that there is no place in America for any kind of violence.

"The rhetoric in the politics of this country has heated up and it's time for it to cool down."

Trump was slightly wounded in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

A man, who was in the audience, and who turned out to be a firefighter, was killed, and two other people were seriously wounded.

The Secret Service returned fire and killed the gunman, who the FBI has identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, of Bethel, Pennsylvania.

The investigation into Saturday's assassination attempt on Trump is bringing to light the mutual criticism of the various US security services.

The attacker should not have been allowed to have a "direct view" of the stage where Trump was, said Alejandro Mallorcas, the state secretary for internal security.

"We are doing everything we can to ensure that this kind of incident never happens again," said Kimberly Cheatle, director of the Secret Service, which is responsible for, among other things, the protection of former and current presidents.

FBI officials said they are still investigating the killer's motives, and that he fired a legally acquired weapon.

They confirm that the attacker acted alone, and they are also focusing the investigation on his accounts on social networks.
