Associated Press  

MILWAUKEE — The Republican National Convention marched into its second day Tuesday, showcasing classic GOP themes like border security and public safety that have become the centerpieces of former President Donald Trump’s campaign. With Trump’s primary rivals speaking, it was also an occasion for the GOP to demonstrate its unity, a sharp contrast to the Democratic party’s mounting concerns over the viability of President Joe Biden. “Let’s send Joe Biden back to his basement and let’s send Donald Trump back to the White House,” DeSantis said as soon as he took the stage. But they railed against Trump’s prosecutions The theme of Tuesday’s RNC festivities was “Make America Safe Once Again,” which offered a central message of restoring “law and order,” standing up for law enforcement and ending a “senseless crime spree.” “We believe in the rule of law,” former GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy thundered from the rostrum.
