Donald Trump secures votes needed for re-nomination at Republican convention

CHARLOTTE: President Donald Trump went into battle for a second term Monday with his nomination at a Republican convention where he will draw on all his showman’s instincts to try and change the narrative in an election he is currently set to lose.
There was no surprise in the party delegates’ landslide vote to nominate Trump, following a series of speeches lavishly praising the president at the convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
