Sydney - Middle East Times Int’l:  the Republican Party officially nominated former US President Donald Trump as its presidential candidate for the third consecutive session in the US presidential elections, which strengthened his position as the standard-bearer of the Republican Party after nearly a decade since he first ascended to the top of the party, according to what was reported « POLITICO.”

The selection represents a remarkable moment for the former president, who over the past three years has faced convictions for the January 6 riot, numerous criminal indictments, political setbacks and an assassination attempt on Saturday.

Trump is scheduled to formally accept the party's nomination in a speech on Thursday, and will challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the November 5 elections.
