Photos: First day of the Republican National Convention


The Republican National Convention is underway in Milwaukee.

The city of beer and sausage was supposed to host the Democratic convention four years ago, but the in-person gathering was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This time, the event comes shortly after Saturday's assassination attempt on Donald Trump, who, undeterred, arrived to formally claim the Republican Party's nomination for president.
