Former US President Donald Trump has won enough votes at the Republican Party convention to become a candidate for the presidency in the 2024 elections, the Associated Press reports.
“Donald Trump has become the official Republican presidential nominee after receiving a sufficient number of delegate votes at the Republican National Convention,” the agency reports.
“We declare him the Republican presidential nominee,” Trump’s son Eric said at the convention.
Earlier on Monday, Trump announced that if he wins the presidential election, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance would become his vice president.
“After much deliberation (…) I have decided that the person best suited to serve as Vice President of the United States is J.D. Vance, Senator from the great state of Ohio,” Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social.
US President Joe Biden and Trump actually won the internal party elections in the Democratic and Republican parties. Their candidacies must be approved at party conventions (congresses). The Republican Party convention is taking place on July 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Democratic Party convention will be held in August.
The US presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024.
