Donald Trump and running mate J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) were in the convention hall as former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) took the stage in support of the newly minted ticket. Haley and DeSantis are both former rivals to Trump for the GOP nomination. Haley gave a more forceful endorsem*nt of Trump than she had previously, while DeSantis leaned more into issues that were frequent topics in his campaign stump speeches.
