Lou Dobbs, a longtime television host, has passed away at age 78.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of ’the great Lou Dobbs,'” representatives said in a statement on July 18.
“Lou was a fighter till the very end—fighting for what mattered to him the most, God, his family, and the country.”
“The President is still experiencing mild upper respiratory symptoms associated with his recent COVID-19 infection. He continues to receive Paxlovid,” Dr. O'Connor said.
“He does not have a fever and his vital signs remain normal. He will continue to conduct the business of the American people. With the President’s permission, I will continue to provide regular updates, as we have done before,” the physician added.
On the final night of the RNC, here’s a list of notable speakers, in chronological order:
Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee
Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee
A campaign manager for President Joe Biden’s re-election bid condemned an appearance by Peter Navarro at the Republican National Convention.
“I think that it tells you everything you need to know about who the Republican Party is under Donald Trump, having somebody who is fresh out of prison for contempt of Congress take the stage,” Quentin Fulks told The Epoch Times.
The former director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing appeared at the convention after finishing a four-month stint in prison earlier that day. He was convicted on criminal contempt of Congress after defying the House’s Jan. 6 Committee.
President Joe Biden is staying in the presidential race, his campaign reiterated on July 18.
“Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not the top of the ticket. He is and will be the Democratic nominee,” principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks told reporters.
The confirmation was made as some Democrats remain concerned over the viability of the president’s candidacy since his debate last month with former President Trump.
The manager of the Pennsylvania township that hosted a campaign rally where a gunman fired shots at former President Donald Trump on July 13 said that local officers radioed a call on a tactical channel about a “suspicious male” near the warehouse where he ultimately perched.
In a statement released on July 17, Butler Township Manager Tom Knights said that after the former president arrived, “a call went out for a suspicious male near the AGR building,” referring to the warehouse that was used by Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Multiple officers who were on traffic duty for the rally “broke free from their traffic intersections ... to aid in the search” for the suspicious person, the statement said. “A search was conducted around the AGR building and the person of interest was not located, and no ladder was discovered.”
MILWAUKEE—Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) formally accepted the Republican Party’s vice presidential nomination July 17, pitching himself as a fighter for the forgotten corners of the American nation.
“I will be a vice president who never forgets where he came from,” the lawyer and venture capitalist, originally from Middletown, Ohio, told the crowd at the Republican National Convention, one day before former President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak.
Mr. Vance commended his running mate for his resilience days after an attempt on his life in Pennsylvania.
With temperatures in the 90s, an ambulance was making round trips between the July 13 Pennsylvania Trump rally and the Butler Memorial Hospital. That is according to Karen Foerster, 53, who was among those overcome by the heat.
She and her husband Rick Foerster, 56, attend most Trump rallies within a 100-mile radius from their Beaver County, Pennsylvania, home. This time they had front row seats.
They arrived at 9 a.m. and gates opened at 1 p.m., but just as the first speakers started, Ms. Foerster was feeling sick from the heat. Her husband had gone to get some drinks in the car. She recalled seeing a shade tree when she entered through the event gate, so she decided to seek shade there. On her way, she ran into her husband with the drinks. He immediately recognized she was sick. He called for help and soon, a golf cart came along and whisked her to the medical tent. Before long, she was in an ambulance on her way to the hospital.
MILWAUKEE—Vice Presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance headlined Day 3 of the Republican National Convention, presenting former President Donald Trump as the man who will champion the American worker and restore the nation to a position of strength in the world.
In an acceptance speech that highlighted his humble beginnings in an economically depressed industrial town in Ohio, Mr. Vance touted the former president’s record in building the economy, championing working Americans, and securing the country.
For most of the night, political speeches took a backseat to personal stories and the party hammered the themes of border security, military strength, and strength on the international stage against Lady Liberty’s adversaries.
