Former President Donald Trump officially clinched the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention Monday.

Less than halfway through the delegate roll call, Trump achieved the 1,215 Republican delegates needed to clinch the nomination, according to a tally by CBS News. Nearly 2,500 delegates have gathered in Milwaukee for the convention.

Donald Trump Jr., the son of former President Donald Trump, snapped at MSNBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff during a confrontation at the Republican National Convention.

As convention proceedings were underway on Monday, Soboroff asked Trump what would be different if his father won a second presidential term.

Former President Donald Trump on Monday named his running mate in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

The presumptive Republican nominee's pick for Vice President is J.D. Vance (R-OH).

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) was reportedly given a stepped-up government security detail just hours before Donald Trump was set to announce his vice presidential running mate.

During a discussion on Fox News about possible VP candidates, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer noted that Vance's security detail had been increased.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was subjected to much ridicule Monday after sources confirmed he'd been snubbed by former President Donald Trump and would not be chosen as his running mate.

"All that sucking up for nothing," quipped podcaster Zach Wilson.

Having digested Judge Aileen Cannon's bombshell ruling that dismissed charges against Donald Trump for stealing and hoarding sensitive government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman was not impressed.

Cannon's ruling stated that special counsel Jack Smith was an unconstitutional appointment, which has legal scholars bluntly stating it contravenes long-established case law.

Donald Trump Jr. and a Texas lawmaker are floating a new conspiracy theory claiming the Federal Bureau of Investigation will corrupt its own investigation into Thomas Crooks' assassination attempt against the presumptive Republican nominee.

Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) claimed Monday that the FBI could not be trusted to investigate the attempted attack on former President Donald in an X message read nearly 350,000 times in under two hours.

After her husband was nearly shot at a Saturday rally, Melania Trump released an extensive statement that is leading some to question whether it is genuine.

The Daily Beast reported that the word "human" was used several times in the 12-paragraph release, which is curious because it is a word that actual humans don't generally use that much when talking about themselves.

Real America's Voice host Brian Glenn, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) boyfriend, said he was refusing the call for unity and pushed the Second Amendment following the shooting of former President Donald Trump.

During a Monday discussion on imprisoned Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, Glenn spoke to guest host Natalie Winters about the assassination attempt.

According to MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin, the sheer length and breadth of U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling on the Donald Trump stolen documents case makes it seem that it has been in the works for a suspicious amount of time.

Reacting to the bombshell ruling where Cannon asserted special counsel Jack Smith's appointment was not allowed under the Constitution, and using that as her reason for the dismissal, Rubin noted the amount of research and cites that made up the 93-page document showed it was not a rush job -- and that raised questions about when it was begun.

With the former president's lawyers questioning the legality of Smith prosecuting the case at a hearing just three weeks ago, Rubin raised her eyebrows at the timing.

"After hearing oral arguments on this motion based on Jack Smith's allegedly unlawful appointment and appropriations of money to fund his office, she ordered an evidentiary hearing on another issue," she told MSNBC host José Díaz-Balart. "That led people to believe that, if she was going to have a days-long hearing seeking evidence on some other issue relevant to the case, that she was not going to dismiss the case outright based on the appointments clause and appropriations clause arguments."

"And yet the length of this opinion suggests that this has been in the works for some time," she pointed out. "Whatever one thinks about Judge Cannon, a 93-page opinion citing case law and briefs and constitutional texts does not emerge overnight."

"This is a serious piece of work involving the judge and likely her law clerk's assistance, but it's not something that one spends two weeks writing. It's something that someone spends usually several weeks writing," she claimed.

D.C. gossip stalwarts Politico and Axios are reporting that the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has stopped calls for Biden to quit the ticket in its tracks.

"After dominating the headlines for more than two weeks, the Dump Biden campaign has gone almost entirely quiet since the assassination attempt on Trump," Politico's Playbook wrote Monday. "The question now on the minds of most Democrats is: For how long?"

Donald Trump's campaign has pressed the message that he is a "changed man" after the failed assassination attempt on Saturday. But after his Monday update on Truth Social, things seemed like they were back to the same again.

In particular, Trump went on an angry rant claiming that his espionage case in Florida a "witch hunt," alleging the Jan. 6 attack on Congress was a "hoax" and the New York fraud case is a "scam."
