Viral misinformation and conspiracy theories spread rapidly online in the immediate aftermath of the attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump. WSJ fact checks the most widely shared posts.

Former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger says Donald Trump has picked the “future of the Republican Party” after selecting JD Vance to be his running mate in this year’s presidential election. “He’s picked someone who can be the presidential candidate in 2028 when I’m not sure the others could have been as powerful as Vance,” he told Sky News Australia. “So, he’s picked someone for the future.”

Former President Trump receives a hero's welcome when he appears at the RNC.

Former President Donald Trump made an appearance at the Republican National Convention's opening night, two days after he escaped an attempted assassination. He was wearing a bandage over his right ear. He also named Ohio Senator J. D. Vance as his running mate in the U.S. presidential election.

President Biden said Vance was “a clone of Trump on the issues.” Vaughn Hillyard and Jon Allen join 11th Hour for special coverage of the Republican National Convention.

President Biden defended calling former President Donald Trump a threat to democracy in a new TV interview that aired Monday night. Mr. Biden also reacted to Trump's vice presidential pick, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, before he boarded Air Force One on his way to Las Vegas. CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes has more.

Donald Trump is officially the Republican Party nominee but skips RNC roll call just two days after assassination attempt More than 2,000 Republican delegates from across the country descended on Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum to officially nominate Trump, who was notably absent following an assassination attempt. Eric Trump beamed with pride as he had the honor of announcing the delegates that officially made his dad Donald the Republican Party's presidential nominee. He was joined by his wife, Lara Trump, and brother, Donald Jr., as he announced that 125 delegates from Florida nominated "the greatest president that's ever lived." "[We] hereby declare him the Republican nominee for President of the United States of America." Supporters say they're looking for a landslide victory in November as Trump takes on bitter rival President Joe Biden. The news comes right after the former president selected his running mate. Trump's shortlist of vice president candidates included Ohio Senator JD Vance and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. Florida Senator Marco Rubio and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum were informed minutes before the roll call that neither would be Trump's running mate. Ultimately, Trump unmasked Vance as his running mate. "After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio," Trump revealed on his social media platform Truth Social. "J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association, J.D.'s book, 'Hillbilly Elegy,' became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. "J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond." Unlike Trump, Vance was present at the RNC along with his fellow GOP constituents. Vance took the stage, receiving a massive cheer that brought the entire crowd to their feet.

A SERIES of glaringly obvious security blunders at Donald Trump's rally have raised questions after the former President was almost killed. Millions have been left baffled after a lone gunman managed to get within a few hundred feet of Trump before unleashing a spray of bullets, missing his head by mere centimetres.

SECURITY at the rally where former President Donald Trump was shot on Saturday allegedly ignored a warning from a witness who claims he saw the shooter. The eyewitness said he and his friends warned cops "three or four minutes" before the bullets rang out, which narrowly missed Trump's head and killed someone in the audience.

Secret Service agents can be heard saying, “Shooter’s down” as they ushered former President Trump off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Two Secret Service sniper teams could be seen on rooftops behind former President Donald Trump, positioning themselves toward the shooter less than two minutes before gunfire erupted at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa. on Saturday.

BBC Verify has analysed video which shows the police were warned of the threat to Donald Trump almost two minutes before Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on him from the roof of a building at a rally in Pennsylvania. Mr Trump narrowly survived the assassination attempt, after the gunman accessed a roof around 130 meters from the podium where the former president and Republican candidate was speaking. It’s the job of the US Secret Service to protect sitting and former presidents. Somehow the gunman managed to breach the security perimeter with a rifle and reach an elevated position close to Mr Trump. Video of the attack and the accounts of eyewitnesses appear to show that members of the crowd became aware of the threat before the police and other security officials alerted them to the danger. When the gunman opened fire security and Secret Service officials at the rally reacted to the threat and responded, with Thomas Crooks shot dead by armed officers. Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Ros Atkins and Frank Gardner.

A "fundamental security failure" allowed a gunman to get close enough to Donald Trump to shoot him, according to an analysis of the scene of the assassination attempt.
