Trump will avoid mentioning Biden's name during his GOP convention speech, according to sources.
Sources reveal that Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention is expected to last over an hour.
The former president will mention the "current administration" or "current leadership" multiple times in his speech at the Republican National Convention, but it is reported that he will not use the term "Biden" at all.
On Thursday, Trump will officially receive the GOP presidential nomination at the 2024 convention's final night.
According to sources, the former president's speech to party members and a national TV audience at Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum is expected to last over an hour.
Trump's speech at the convention was affected by the assassination attempt that occurred five days prior, during which one spectator was killed and the gunman also died. The shooting at Trump's rally in western Pennsylvania instantly changed the tone and message of the convention, and affected the former president's address.
Sources indicate that the speech will present a case for the ticket and emphasize unity in a portion of the speech following his recent near-death experience.
On the eve of his address, Trump declared in an email to supporters, "I will present my vision to unite our country and make it greater than ever before!"
During the first three days of the convention, former GOP presidential rivals Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who had a contentious primary season with Trump, delivered speeches from the podium in support of the former president.
The convention is being utilized by Republicans to bring the party together and motivate delegates and activists in preparation for the final stages of the 2024 election campaign, where President Trump will face off against President Biden.
As Biden's campaign challenges recent reports that Trump has softened his stance on running for president in 2024, Trump delivers a speech.
At this point, the identity of the nominee is unknown, according to a source close to Trump's political circle.
The Trump campaign highlighted the contrast between the "unified" GOP at the convention and the ongoing turmoil surrounding Biden's re-election campaign hours earlier.
A Trump campaign official highlighted that the Republican Party is united and has a clear vision for the country through President Trump's agenda and plan for America.
The Democrats are struggling to determine their presidential nominee, the official stated.
Biden, who is 81 years old, has been questioned about his physical and mental capabilities to serve another four years as president after his poor debate performance against Trump last month.
Elected Democrats are concerned about the party losing the White House and both houses of Congress in the fall election, and politically, Biden has been pushing back against their calls to end his campaign.
According to recent reports, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, both top Democrats, had discussions with Biden about ending his presidential campaign.
A Washington Post report on Thursday indicated that former President Obama has informed allies that Biden's chances of winning have decreased significantly, and he believes the president should reconsider continuing his campaign.
Quentin Fulks, the principal deputy campaign manager of the Biden campaign, stated at a news conference on Thursday morning that the campaign is not successful unless President Biden is the top of the Democratic ticket. He added that Biden will remain the Democratic nominee.
Prior to Trump's speech, Fulks highlighted that over the past four days, Republicans have presented their vision for the country. As a result, it is now evident that Americans will have to make a stark choice between two distinct visions for the country.
