When the Democratic Party picked the city of Milwaukee as the location for its 2020 National Convention, it chose a Midwestern city other than Chicago for the first time in more than 100 years. The Republican Party apparently hasn't forgotten how Democrats invaded their National Convention turf four years ago. The 2024 RNC took place in Wisconsin's most populous city this week as the Midwest is expected to once more play a key role in November's presidential election.

The event culminated yesterday with a speech of Donald Trump, now officially the party's candidate for the presidency. While observers have called this year's Republican National Convention a "show of unity" , Trump's speech also reverted back to familiar tropes of immigrant criminals and a Democratic threat to the country. He revisited his near-death experience during Saturday's assassination attempt, but stepped clear of using his presumed opponent, President Joe Biden's, name.

This chart shows locations of Democratic and Republican National Conventions (1920-2024).

Biden is meanwhile being expected to accept his party's nomination at the Democratic National Convention taking place in Chicago from August 19. Picking the city, Democrats have reverted to familiar Midwestern territory. Republican have branched out much more within the region, visiting Kansas City and Cleveland multiple times (including in 2016) as well as St. Paul (in 2008) and Detroit once.

While Biden has won the Democratic primary—an easy feat for an incumbent president—he has faced very persistent calls to step away from the nomination after his mental capacity to serve was called into question following a series of gaffes, including during his first presidential debate against Trump.

Chicago for the eighth time

With the official Democratic nomination still more than a month away, the path forward for Biden is unclear in an unprecedented situation for an incumbent U.S. president in modern times. What is sure is that all eyes will be on the DNC, held in Chicago for the eighth time in roughly the last 100 years. RNCs have also visited the city fairly frequently—five times in the same time frame.

Both Democrats and Republicans have also favored New York City as well as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for their conventions and neither party has branched out to the West Coast more than a couple of times. But while Democrats have also added East Coast locations Boston and Atlantic City to their roster over the years, Republicans have been more active in the South, visiting Dallas, Tampa and New Orleans. Both parties have held their annual events in Miami, Houston and Charlotte, North Carolina.

According to data by 270toWin , Wisconsin and Michigan are once again classified as battleground or toss-up states ahead of the presidential election, as polls there show no clear favorite between Biden and Trump. Illinois, meanwhile, is classified by the website as leaning Democratic. In 2016, Trump had caused an upset that finally gained him the presidency by winning Wisconsin and Michigan as well as Iowa and Ohio despite all four states having voted for Democrat Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Other swing states for 2024 are Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada. Democrats have the slimmest projected leads in Illinois, New Hampshire and Minnesota, while Republicans are only leading slightly in Georgia and North Carolina.

Live updates: RNC’s Night 3 highlights national security and JD Vance as Biden tests positive for COVID

The third day of the Republican National Convention kicks off Wednesday with Republicans — led by the newly nominated Donald Trump and his running mate, U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio — shifting their focus to issues of national security and foreign policy.

WATCH LIVE: 2024 Republican National Convention Night 3

Republicans are expected to focus on Democratic President Joe Biden’s handling of the ongoing crises in Europe and the Middle East. Former Trump administration officials are also expected to take the stage to outline what foreign policy would look like if he returns to the White House for a second term.

Vance will also introduce himself to a national audience Wednesday evening when he delivers his first speech as the Republican vice-presidential nominee.

11:39 p.m. EDT

Day 3 of the convention has ended.

The convention is gaveling out after a benediction from Rev. Packy Thompson of Houma, Lousiana.

Thompson thanked God for Trump. “I also thank you for protecting him from the evil that was perpetrated last Saturday,” he said.

And the gathering is adjourned until Thursday.

Biden campaign issues a blistering statement immediately following Vance’s speech

“Tonight, J.D. Vance, the poster boy for Project 2025, took center stage. But it’s working families and the middle class who will suffer if he’s allowed to stay there,” Michael Tyler, Biden campaign communication director, said.

“Backed by Silicon Valley and the billionaires who bought his vice presidential selection, Vance is Project 2025 in human form – an agenda that puts extremism and the ultra wealthy over our democracy.”

Vance ends VP nomination speech: ‘I will give you everything I have’ Vance made a pledge to voters: “I pledge to every American, no matter your party, I will give you everything I have.”

He added, “To serve you and to make this country a place where every dream you have for yourself, your family and your country will be possible once again.”

After the speech, Vance’s extended family flooded the stage to an unusual song for a Republican convention – Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow.”

The song became a political staple in 1992 when a very different young politician from a humble background ran for national office. That was Bill Clinton, who is, of course, a Democrat.

Vance presented an unusual portrait of the housing affordability crisis

The Ohio senator mentioned speaking with someone who wondered if they would ever be able to buy a house. Vance then blamed the housing crisis on “Wall Street barons,” who crashed the economy, causing workers who built houses to lose their jobs and wages to stagnate. Then, he contended, Democrats let millions of illegal immigrants into the country, further increasing home prices.

But the housing affordability crisis has skyrocketed under Biden not for any of those reasons, but because interest rates have risen sharply along with inflation. Home prices were high under the prior three presidents, but low interest rates kept mortgage rates down, and homes therefore still within reach for many, especially in places like Vance’s home state of Ohio.

Now those mortgage rates have increased exponentially, putting previously costly but still affordable homes well out of the reach of most prospective first-time buyers. It’s one of Biden’s most intractable problems.

Vance takes a softer tone on immigrants

In seeking to appeal to a larger audience on immigration, Vance used the example of his in-laws, who are South Asian immigrants.

“These are incredible people who genuinely have enriched this country in so many ways,” Vance said. “And of course, I’m biased because I love my wife and her family. But it’s true.”

Vance also used the term “illegal aliens” to describe immigrants in the country illegally instead of the more derisive term “illegals” that previous speakers used. The word choice is an example of the overall tone of Vance’s speech, which is much softer than the speech of the man who introduced him, Donald Trump Jr.

11:24 p.m. EDT

Vance is contrasting biden and trump.

“Joe Biden has been a politician in Washington as long as I’ve been alive,” Vance, 39, said. “For half a century he’s been a champion of every single policy initiative to make America weaker and poorer.”

In contrast, Vance said, Trump in four years was able to reverse all those negative trends. “Just imagine what he’s going to do when we give him four more years,” Vance said, sparking chants of “four more years.”

Vance, still a relative unknown, familiarizes the crowd with his autobiography The crowd inside the convention hall welcomed Vance warmly, but they were somewhat quiet during his remarks — at least compared to other more fiery speakers from earlier in the night.

In winning the nomination, Vance has leap-frogged a deep bench of aspiring Republican politicians in Ohio, where the GOP controls every statewide executive office, both legislative chambers and the state Supreme Court.

The muted reception was a reminder that Vance is still not well known, even among Republicans. And he was not the most talented orator among the list of veep finalists. Perhaps that’s why Vance has closely followed the script for much of his speech, according to the teleprompters in the room.

It’s also worth noting that the speech is more focused on Vance’s biography than the red-meat conservative issues that most excite Republican activists.

Vance pays homage to his ‘Mamaw’

Vance drew upon his bestselling memoir to talk about growing up in a faded Ohio town. He credited his success to his grandmother, who he refers to as “Mamaw.”

He recounted how she was “tough as nails.” Once, when Vance recalled that he was spending too much time hanging out with a local kid who dealt drugs, his grandmother said she’d run the boy over with her car if Vance didn’t stop.

“She said, ‘JD, no one will ever find out about it,’” Vance recalled.

The crowd roared and began chanting “Mamaw! Mamaw!”

Vance pays respect to his running mate before detailing his own life story

Vance’s autobiographical speech is supposed to introduce the 39-year-old freshman senator to the nation, but he seemed to have little choice but to immediately address Saturday’s assassination attempt on his running mate.

“For the last eight years, President Trump has given everything he has to fight for his country. He didn’t need politics but the country needed him,” Vance said.

“They said he was a tyrant. They said he had to be stopped at all costs. But what did he call for?” Vance asked. “He called for national unity.”

He also shared an unexpected private detail — two nights ago, he said, Trump gave each of his two adult sons a kiss on the cheek. “Sorry guys,” Vance joked about the moment, noting the two Trump sons “squirmed” like Vance’s own 4-year-old son when the Ohio Senator tries to kiss him.

10:58 p.m. EDT

Jd vance takes the stage.

With a kiss to his wife, he walked out to Merle Haggard’s “America First,” which has played several times during the convention.

Bowing his head and waving to the crowd, the 39-year-old Ohio senator, elected just 20 months ago, proclaimed, “Wow, wow!” as the crowd briefly chanted “JD, JD.”

“My name is JD Vance, from the great state of Ohio,” he said.

To the chants of “O-H-I-O,” he said, “We gotta chill with the Ohio love, we have to win Michigan too.”

Usha Vance introduces her husband

Usha Vance, JD Vance’s wife and political unknown, arrived on the RNC stage for her prime-time debut.

“When I was asked to introduce my husband JD Vance to all of you, I was at a loss,” she said. “What can I say that hasn’t already been said. I mean the man was a subject of a Ron Howard movie.”

Usha Vance laid out the stark differences between how she and her husband grew up. The senator is from a low-income Appalachian family and she came from a middle-class immigrant home in San Diego. “When JD met me, he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm,” she said.

Biden: ‘I am doing well’ after testing positive for COVID-19

Biden commented after Air Force One brought him back to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. The president was in Las Vegas to speak to members of a Latino civil rights organization but canceled the appearance after learning he was positive for the virus.

The White House said the president was experiencing mild symptoms, had begun treatment and will isolate at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

10:45 p.m. EDT

Trump jr. calls for unity, attacks enemies.

Donald Trump Jr. spoke movingly about his father’s bravery on Saturday after a would-be assassin opened fire, saying he showed “for all the world” that “the next American president has the heart of a lion.” But he toggled back and forth between talking about his father as a symbol of national unity and slamming his enemies.

“When he stood up with blood on his face and the flag at his back, the world saw a spirit that could never be broken,” Trump Jr said. “And that is the true spirit of America. America knows what it’s like to be down. We know what it’s like to be confused and afraid.”

He quickly segued to slamming the media’s “lies.”

“They lied about Russia collusion, they lied about Hunter’s laptop. They lied about Joe Biden’s fitness for office, they lied about the border being secure,” Trump Jr said. Eventually, he said, “all hell has broken loose in America.”

Trump Jr. concluded by referencing his father again on Saturday. “He may have moved to the ground but he stood back up,” he said. “He raised his fist in the air and what did he say?” The crowd echoed back “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

The speech shows the challenge facing the convention — to give voice to the fear and frustration of their conservative base while also trying to promote Donald Trump as a symbol of hope for all voters.

Unauthorized aircraft escorted out of airspace surrounding RNC

An aircraft entered the restricted airspace surrounding the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Wednesday and was escorted out of the area by a North American Aerospace Defense Command F-35 jet.

The aircraft was not in communication with air traffic control when flying about 24 miles southwest of Milwaukee around 3:30 p.m., NORAD said. The F-35 jet was flying at about 4,000 feet and would have been visible from the ground, NORAD said.

NORAD did not provide any details about the type of aircraft it intercepted, where it was headed or if it knew it was violating the restricted airspace.

The Federal Aviation Administration has implemented temporary flight restrictions in and around Milwaukee throughout the convention which concludes Thursday.

JD Vance to highlight his Appalachian upbringing in RNC speech

Vice presidential nominee JD Vance will draw upon his poor upbringing in Appalachia in his keynote address while promising voters that he won’t forget the small Midwestern town where he comes from.

“Never in my wildest imagination would I have believed that I could be standing here tonight,” Vance, a 39-year-old first-term senator, will say, according to excerpts of his remarks released by the campaign.

He grew up in Middletown, Ohio, “a small town where people spoke their minds, built with their hands, and loved their God, family, community and country with their whole hearts.”

In the speech, he uses his youth to help draw a contrast with Biden, 81, who is more than twice his age.

Vance notes he was in fourth grade when “a career politician by the name of Joe Biden supported NAFTA, a bad trade deal that sent countless good American manufacturing jobs to Mexico.”

“In small towns like mine in Ohio, or next door in Pennsylvania, or in Michigan and other states across our country, jobs were sent overseas and children were sent to war.”

He’ll also reference his mother, a single mom “who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up. And I am proud to say that tonight my mom is here, 10 years clean and sober.”

Vance will conclude his remarks with a promise to the American people:

“The people of Middletown, Ohio, and all the forgotten communities in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and every corner of our Nation, I promise you this: I will never forget where I came from.”

A 98-year-old World War 2 veteran took the stage to criticize the country’s 81-year-old Democratic president

William Pekrul, who said he’s the father of 11 children, fought on D-Day and at the Battle of the Bulge. “There were many of us left, there aren’t many of us left today,” Pekrul said, standing on his own on stage.

“But for those of us who are here, America’s still worth fighting for.”

Pekrul continued that “it hurts my heart” to see how Biden and Harris have taken care of the country. “If President Trump were the commander-in-chief, I’d go back and reenlist today,” Pekrul said, as Trump smiled and clapped.

Trump has a history of controversial statements about veterans, including being accused by his former chief of staff, a one-time Marine General, that he scoffed at the sacrifice of those buried in Normandy who died during the D-Day invasion. Trump has denied he made the statement.

Biden has remained supportive of Israel despite protests within his own party

As the issues from the stage turn to the Israeli-Hamas war, signs saying “We are Jews for Trump” are emerging from the crowd on the floor.

An Israeli flag is being waved near a woman holding a sign that says, “Free hostages, Support Israel and Fight Antisemitism.”

The Biden administration has steadfastly supported Israel despite major protests from within the Democratic party’s own ranks. Biden visited Israel shortly after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks and hugged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Biden has rejected demands to halt all weapons shipments to Israel, although it did suspend the transfer of 2,000-pound bombs over fears they might be used in heavily populated areas in Gaza.

At the same time, US officials have been working since October to try and arrange a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas that would see the release of hostages and at least a temporary end to hostilities.

Top Biden aides, including national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have met repeatedly with the families of American and other hostages still held by Hamas and pledged to work for their release.

Convention speakers turn to condemning activists on college campuses

Country singer Brian Kelley played his song “American Spirit” as a group of fraternity brothers from UNC Chapel Hill strode to the stage, carrying American flags.

The group was honored for taking down a Palestinian flag that activists raised in place of an American flag on their camps. The fraternity brothers then again raised the American flag.

Next up was Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Jewish Harvard student suing his school for alleged antisemitism. “After Oct. 7, the world finally saw what I and so many Jewish students across this country experience every day,” Kestenbaum said.

The parents of an American man captured by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, and held hostage ever since also spoke.

Gold Star families say Biden ‘refused to recognize’ the sacrifice of their loved ones

The families of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed by a suicide bombing in August 2021 appeared on stage as Trump and Republicans look to further highlight one of the most difficult moments of Biden’s tenure. “Joe Biden has refused to recognize their sacrifice,” Christy Shamblin, the mother of Sgt. Nicole Gee, told the crowd. “Donald Trump knew all of our children’s names. He knew all of their stories.”

The crowd at the RNC chanted “Never forget!” and “U.S.A!”

The parents and loved ones of those service members have been thrown into the political spotlight, appearing before congressional hearings and doing various news interviews.

Republicans have claimed that Biden’s decision to remove U.S. soldiers after the two-decade war in Afghanistan was a strictly political move. But the agreement for the U.S. to withdraw from Afghanistan was signed by Trump’s administration in February 2020. The deal called for American troops to be out by May 2021, but Trump left office that January without leaving a plan in place for the actual withdrawal of forces.

The families have blasted Biden for never publicly naming their loved ones. On stage Wednesday, one of the family members named each of the 13 members, with the crowd echoing back each lost soldier’s name as it was read out loud.

The Republican criticism of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan resonates with voters across party lines. Former Biden supporters, such as former New Hampshire House Speaker Steve Shurtleff, have cited the botched withdrawal as one reason why they want Biden to step aside.

Rep. Waltz describes Trump’s relationship with the families of military service members

Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida said Trump has helped Gold Star families heal following the deaths of their relatives in combat.

Waltz talked about how Trump has hosted such families at his clubs for dinners and events as a way to thank them for their families’ service and sacrifice.

The former Green Beret also opened his Wednesday night comments with a crack on Biden, asking attendees, “Has anyone seen charging stations in the Middle East for Biden’s electric tanks?”

Waltz, co-chairman of the Platform Committee, also spoke at the convention on Monday. His name has been mentioned as a possible secretary of state contender in a second Trump administration.

9:31 p.m. EDT

Kellyanne conway highlights the women from trump’s administration.

Kellyanne Conway reminded RNC attendees how many women served at top levels in Trump’s White House.

The former senior presidential adviser said Tuesday that she was one of five women, along with others including former press secretary-turned-Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, in top jobs during Trump’s administration.

Conway noted that among them, they had 19 children in total. Party officials and strategists have noted that Trump has struggled in the past two elections — and again may in 2024 — to attract suburban, college-educated women.

In 2016, Conway became the first woman to successfully head up a Republican presidential campaign.

Her comments at the 2020 RNC served as a farewell of sorts, as she had announced she’d be leaving the administration.

Gov. Abbott wants to ‘take back our land and wire it shut’

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is receiving a warm welcome from the entire delegation, led by Texans waving their white cowboy hats.

“I can tell you America needs a president that will secure our border,” says Abbott, governor of the state with the largest section of the U.S.-Mexican border.

Abbott criticized the Biden administration for objecting to his administration’s effort to secure more of its section of the border, “to take back our land and wire it shut.”

Abbott’s remarks prompted thousands in Fiserv Forum to chant, “Send them back, send them back.”

GOP showcases ‘everyday Americans’

Throughout the convention, the party has been been highlighting nonpoliticians they’ve dubbed ‘everyday Americans’ to make the case for Trump — or against President Biden.

“It looks like and it feels like an invasion because it is,” Jim Chilton, an Arizona rancher, said of immigration issues he’s observed near his property.

Chilton’s wife, Sue, said a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent was shot near their home, and she often worries for her husband’s safety when he goes out on their property.

“Under President Donald Trump, it wasn’t like this,” Sue Chilton said.

The shooting of the U.S. border agent occurred in 2018 when Trump was president.

8:35 p.m. EDT

Schumer spokesperson pushes back on abc news report.

After an ABC News report that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made the case to President Joe Biden on Saturday that it would be best for him to drop his reelection bid, a spokesperson for the lawmaker is not denying the report.

“Unless ABC’s source is Senator Chuck Schumer or President Joe Biden the reporting is idle speculation,” the Schumer spokesperson said. “Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus directly to President Biden on Saturday.”

Ex-White House official speaks at RNC after being released from prison

The packed convention hall gave former Trump White House official Peter Navarro an ovation that spanned over a full minute when he took the stage. He was released from a Florida prison earlier today.

“If they can come for me, if they can come for Donald Trump, be careful, they can come for you,” Navarro told convention goers and delegates. Navarro was released from custody after completing a four-month sentence for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons.

Navarro’s defiant speech was a rare mention of Jan. 6 on the convention floor. He spoke for more than 10 minutes — one of the longest speeches yet — about what he called the “lawfare jackals” he blamed for locking him up. Navarro embraced his fiancée onstage to wild cheers. It was a striking reception for one of Trump’s longest-standing advisors, though one who had not had a particularly high profile before his defiance of the Jan. 6 committee.

The scene was the sort of spectacle common at Trump rallies, where the presidential nominee routinely plays a recording made by those convicted of crimes on Jan. 6, who he refers to as “hostages.” But there hasn’t been a similar moment at the convention, which has so far avoided talking about Trump’s push to overturn his 2020 loss.

RFK Jr. supporters gather outside RNC entrance

A handful of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supporters waved flags near an entrance in support of the independent candidate who they say is a strong alternative to a two-party system where they increasingly feel out of place.

Patrick Clerkin, 31, who lives outside of Boston, said he was in Milwaukee trying to energize young voters. “They really do have a third choice this time,” Clerkin said, as an AI-generated pop version of a John F. Kennedy campaign jingle blared on a speaker in the background.

Clerkin described the apparent leaked video of Kennedy’s phone call with Trump as “encouraging.”

“It wouldn’t be happening if they didn’t consider him worthy of the attention,” Clerkin said.

Republicans lay the groundwork for their potential fight against Harris Trump’s former White House physician, Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas, is the latest to attack Harris.

Jackson is hammering Biden’s physical and mental capabilities to perform his presidential duties and blaming the president’s “staff and family” for not pushing him to abandon his reelection campaign. But Jackson said, “Perhaps the greatest blame lies with his own vice president. … She has lied to us. She has put party above country. She is as unfit in character as Joe Biden is in body and mind.”

In case it’s not obvious, Republicans are doing everything they can to lay the groundwork for a campaign against Harris if that becomes necessary.

Rep. Nancy Mace has been on Trump’s bad side before, but now she’s backing him

The South Carolina Republican took the stage at the RNC on Tuesday night, talking about her origins as a high school dropout and Waffle House waitress before becoming the first woman to graduate from The Citadel military college.

She also referenced the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, saying that, “just as Trump quickly rose to his feet” after the shooting, “America will soon be back on hers” with him back in the White House.

Mace worked for Trump’s 2016 campaign and won South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District in 2020. But after she criticized Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, the former president supported a Republican who primaried her in 2022.

Mace won that contest, has gotten back in Trump’s good graces and now has his support as she seeks a third term.

7:49 p.m. EDT

Wednesday session is underway, promises sweeping attacks on biden.

The third night of the RNC promises sweeping critiques of President Biden as a weak commander-in-chief and head of state. There has been plenty of Biden bashing already this week — expected at a Republican convention ahead of challenging an incumbent Democrat.

The question is whether the attacks land beyond conservatives already inclined to vote for Trump.

Republican Chairman Michael Whatley previewed the line of argument in his introductory remarks, talking of a porous Southern border and asserting that Russia and China were “in check” when Trump was president. But the latter, in particular, is a simplified view of the realities behind Moscow’s and Beijing’s ambitions and aggressive posturing in their respective regions.

Trump spent much of his presidency making friendly overtures toward Vladimir Putin. Biden, meanwhile, has largely tracked Trump’s approach on trade policy with China.

But those details and nuances won’t find airtime tonight in Milwaukee.

Russian diplomat praises Vance on Russia-Ukraine War stance

Russia’s top diplomat is welcoming Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance’s support for ending U.S. aid to Ukraine and says Moscow will work with any American leader “willing to engage in equitable, mutually respectful dialogue.”

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a U.N. news conference that Vance is in favor of peace and “that’s what we need — to stop pumping Ukraine full of weapons.”

“Then, the war will end and then we can look for solutions,” he said.

Vance wants the United States to attend to its own problems — not necessarily a war thousands of miles away on a different continent, even though he has said Putin was wrong to invade. That view dovetails with presidential nominee Trump who has claimed that if elected he would end the conflict before Inauguration Day in January, though he has declined to say how.

The Russian minister stressed that any solution in Ukraine must take into consideration both the situation on the ground and the reality of political life. And a key feature is that the four Ukrainian regions Moscow illegally annexed in 2022 are now part of Russia, enshrined in the constitution, “and there’s no use discussing that any further — it’s nonnegotiable.”

Biden boards Air Force One unmasked, returns to Delaware

Biden boarded Air Force One and told reporters traveling with him that, “I feel good.” The president was not wearing a mask as he walked onto Air Force One.

Shortly before the White House announced Biden’s condition, the president had stopped at the Original Lindo Michoácan Restaurant, mingling with customers, making small talk and taking selfies as he went table to table before participating in an interview with Univision.

President biden tests positive for covid-19 while campaigning in las vegas.

President Biden has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to a speaker at the UnidosUS annual conference broadcast on the White House’s YouTube channel.

Biden was slated to speak at the event in Las Vegas Wednesday afternoon as part of an effort to rally Hispanic voters ahead of the November election. Unidos US President and CEO Janet Murguía told the guests that the president had sent his regrets and could not appear because he tested positive for the virus.

The president had previously been at the Original Lindo Michoacan restaurant in Las Vegas, where he was greeting diners and was scheduled to have an interview with Univision.

Milwaukee police chief defends use of outside law enforcement at rnc.

The role of police from outside Milwaukee has been under scrutiny after officers from Columbus, Ohio, shot and killed a man wielding two knives near the convention.

Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman told The Associated Press today, a day after the shooting, that the officers took it upon themselves to intervene in an “active imminent threat situation.” He says it should restore people’s faith that law enforcement has the community’s back, no matter where they are from.

The shooting angered area residents because the police were from elsewhere. It’s also reignited activists’ concerns about police use of deadly force.

JD Vance won’t commit to VP debate until Democrats formally choose their nominee

Newly minted Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance’s team says it’s too soon to discuss the vice presidential debate because Democrats don’t formally have their nominees and President Biden could still drop out of the race.

After Vice Harris accepted a third debate date offered by CBS News and encouraged Vance to accept, Brian Hughes, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign said, “We don’t know who the Democrat nominee for Vice President is going to be, so we can’t lock in a date before their convention. To do so would be unfair to Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, or whoever Kamala Harris picks as her running mate.”

President Biden is the presumptive Democrat nominee but is facing pressure from party leaders to step aside after his disastrous debate with Trump. Biden has insisted he’s not leaving the race.

Former White House official Peter Navarro arrives following prison release

A black SUV dropped off Peter Navarro at a Hyatt Hotel just outside the security perimeter surrounding the Republican National Convention. He is set to speak tonight night.

Navarro, who served as a White House trade adviser under Trump, was freed from a Florida prison earlier today after serving four months for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of the Republican president’s supporters, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons.

Navarro carried his own luggage into the hotel after his release from prison earlier in the day.

“I’m enjoying the freedom,” he told the AP.

Vance lashes out at press, says Trump delivered on toning down ‘the temperature’ of rhetoric

Ohio Sen. JD Vance lashed out at the press at his first fundraiser since becoming Trump’s running mate Thursday, saying they “really miss what the man is made of.”

Speaking to donors in Milwaukee not far from the convention site, Vance said the truth about Trump was put on display Saturday, after he survived a failed assassination attempt and Trump stood up, raised his hand in the air, and said “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Trump, he said, “literally got shot — came within millimeters of losing his life in the service of this country.”

But instead of being mad and angry, Vance said, Trump “called for national unity. He called for calm. He showed leadership, my friends.”

“The media keeps on saying they want somebody to tone down the temperature. Well, Donald Trump got shot and he toned down the temperature. That’s what a real leader does,” he added.

3:37 p.m. EDT

Vance quips that he told trump that he’s ‘very excited’ for rnc address.

Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance , is attending his first fundraiser since becoming the official Republican vice presidential nominee.

Vance said he would use his speech Wednesday night to make the case about the importance of reelecting Trump.

Speaking to a room of several hundred donors at Discovery World, a lakefront museum and aquarium in Milwaukee, he quipped that he’s told Trump he’s “very excited about this evening” and doesn’t plan to screw it up, but that it’s too late for Trump to change his mind.

Vance was introduced by Ohio Congressman Jim Banks, who called him the “future of the Republican Party” and the America First movement.

He applauded Trump for his choice, saying Vance was the best candidate to connect with working class men and women in critical states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Can anyone say 2028?

Fresh off his convention floor speech marching behind Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was back on the GOP circuit.

One of his first stops Wednesday: the Iowa Republican luncheon. Yes, the state that will cast the first votes of the 2028 Republican presidential nominating contest.

DeSantis finished a disappointing distant second in the Iowa caucuses in January and dropped out afterward to endorse Trump. He did not mention 2028 during his time with Iowa delegates, but he certainly sounded like a governor who was still trying to sell his record to a collection of influential Republican activists.

He ticked off several conservative policy achievements and, as he did Tuesday night, bragged about how dominant Republicans now are in what was once a coin-flip state.

The reason, according to DeSantis: “We had good leadership.”

New York congressional candidate says Vance is unfamiliar, but Trump’s pick is ‘my pick’

Menachem M. Raitport, a delegate from New York state and a candidate for the 9th Congressional District seat there, says he doesn’t know much about JD Vance or any of the other people Trump considered as a running mate.

“I trust that our president did a thorough evaluation of his candidates,” Raitport said Wednesday outside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. “And if Donald Trump decided this is his pick, then he’s my pick because I put full faith in the president that he is going to lead our country back to prosperity, safety, security, secure borders and repairing our economy and repairing our nation as a whole and bringing us all together.”

If Vance and Vice President Kamala Harris face off in a debate, Raitport said he would watch it “with a big bucket of popcorn and laugh.”

“JD Vance, I’m sure, has a lot to say and he’ll be articulate,” Raitport said. “On the other hand, Kamala Harris — it’s gonna be a comedy show.”

Gingrich: JD Vance pick part of Trump’s mission to transform the party and country

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is billing Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance as part of Donald Trump’s ongoing process of remaking the Republican Party and the nation.

Gingrich, a Trump ally who speaks with the former president, told Iowa Republicans on Wednesday that the former president could have made a historically conventional pick to “consolidate” the party — a marriage like the conservative insurgent Ronald Reagan and the establishment figure George H.W. Bush who ran against him for the nomination in 1980.

“He had time to think it through, and his answer is, ‘No, people aren’t for me so I can compromise. People are for me so we can get things done and I need somebody who believes in what we’re doing,’” Gingrich said.

That cuts against some of the talk of party unity that has dominated the RNC’s first two days. Or, perhaps more accurately, it reflects that the definition of Republican unity in 2024 is to accept Trump’s vision and imprint on the party.

That influence runs so deep, Gingrich added, that “every word” of the Republican platform was “personally written or edited” by Trump.

Huckabee Sanders says the November election is her focus for now — not 2028

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who served as former President Donald Trump’s press secretary, was asked about 2028 possibilities and whether she was intrigued by the prospects of becoming the first female president.

“Right now, frankly, the only election I am focused on is November of this year. As soon as that’s over, I would transition into really focusing on 2026 and getting reelected as governor in my home state,” she said in a conversation with Politico at an event hall across the street from the convention venue in Milwaukee.

She was also asked about waiting to endorse Trump and whether he gave her a hard time.

“I have a great relationship with the president,” she said. “I have maintained a great back and forth, and I’m really proud to stand with him both in 2016 and 2020.”

2:50 p.m. EDT

Harris calls assassination attempt on trump a ‘heinous, horrible and cowardly act’.

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke during a moderated conversation on abortion access in Kalamazoo, Michigan, about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

“As we all know it was a heinous, horrible and cowardly act,” Harris said. “My husband and I are thankful he was not seriously injured that day. As soon as we saw what was happening, we said a prayer for his well-being,” she continued.

Harris also offered condolences to the family of Corey Comperatore, the fire chief killed while, authorities have said, defending his family from gunfire during the Saturday Trump rally in Pennsylvania.

Sen. Stabenow lavishes VP Harris with praise while criticizing Vance as Trump ‘clone’

Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow praised Vice President Kamala Harris’ time in the U.S. Senate and her role as a consistent tie-breaking vote for Democrats’ legislative agenda during a campaign rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Stabenow said the Biden administration has done “an incredible job rebuilding our country” and “has been able to get more done for Michigan than in my lifetime.”

“We watched her masterfully question Trump’s Supreme Court nominees and the other people in the administration,” Stabenow said. “I can’t wait for her to debate JD Vance. He should be shaking in his boots right now.”

Stabenow then focused her attention on Vance, who she criticized as a “clone” of Trump while critiquing his record on abortion issues, Medicare and the results of the 2020 election.

“Tonight when he makes his speech, and when he moves out across the country. The truth of the matter is JD Vance, and certainly Donald Trump, are wrong for America,” she said to applause.

House Oversight panel subpoenas the Secret Service director to appear Monday

U.S. Rep. James Comer, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, has issued a subpoena to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle compelling her to appear before the committee on Monday for what is scheduled to be the first congressional hearing on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Comer said initially that the Secret Service committed to her attendance but that Homeland Security officials appear to have intervened and there has been no “meaningful updates or information” shared with the committee.

Comer said the “lack of transparency and failure to cooperate” with the committee called into question Cheatle’s ability to lead the Secret Service and necessitates the subpoena.

Cheatle has said the agency understands the importance of a review ordered by Democratic President Joe Biden and would fully participate in it as well as with congressional committees looking into the shooting.

The House Oversight panel has subpoenaed the Secret Service director to appear Monday at the first hearing on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

Former national security adviser: TikTok is ‘best espionage operation’ ever created

Former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien says the hugely popular TikTok app is “the best espionage operation that’s ever been created in the history of espionage.”

Speaking to reporters at a forum hosted by Bloomberg News at the Republican National Convention Wednesday, O’Brien said the app gives China unprecedented access to American users’ personal information, posing an immediate national security threat.

Trump, however, has backed off on TikTok, which he once tried to ban. O’Brien noted the former president has amassed a huge following on the app, with significantly more followers than President Biden.

“I think he likes that metric,” O’Brien joked.

O’Brien is widely expected to have a role in the administration if Trump wins a second term and has said he’d “certainly be willing to serve,” if asked.

O’Brien also entertained the idea of a return for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who ran a bitter primary campaign against Trump but spoke his praises on the convention stage Tuesday night.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if she came back,” he said. “President Trump’s always very generous, I think, especially when people say nice things about him. And she said very nice things about him last night.”

TikTok has long rejected allegations that authorities in Beijing have access to user data.

Rep. Schiff calls on Biden to ‘pass the torch’

California Rep. Adam Schiff says he believes it is time for President Joe Biden to “pass the torch” and withdraw from the election.

Schiff said Wednesday that Biden has been “one of the most consequential presidents” but that the nation is at a crossroads and a second Trump presidency would undermine U.S. democracy.

“While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch,” Schiff said in a statement. “And in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.”

Schiff, who is running for Senate this year, is a former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who led the first House impeachment against Trump in 2019.

U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst says she’ll be ready with popcorn for Democrats’ convention

U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst says she’s enjoying the unified vibe of the Republican convention but tells her fellow Iowans that she’s excited for a different reason about Democrats’ gathering next month in Chicago.

“How many of you are going to watch the Democratic National Convention?” Ernst asked at an Iowa Republican Party lunch on Wednesday.

Delegates laughed as she continued: “Get the popcorn ready because this is going to be the most hilarious exercise that we have ever seen.”

Ernst said proudly that she is a “conspiracy theorist” who for “well over a year now” has told people privately that President Joe Biden would not be the nominee. “He is on a nosedive, and the sad thing is they’ve dug in so deep at this point, how on earth do they get rid of him?”

Rep. Adam Schiff calls for Biden to withdraw from race

U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, a prominent California Democrat who is running for Senate, has called for President Biden to withdraw from the presidential election.

Man charged with carrying concealed firearm near RNC

Prosecutors have charged a 21-year-old Milwaukee man with carrying a concealed firearm near the Republican National Convention’s security perimeter.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office filed one misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit against the man on Tuesday.

According to the criminal complaint, federal agents patrolling the convention’s security zone spotted the man walking on Monday morning. The agents noticed the man was wearing black pants, black gloves and a ski mask and was carrying what the complaint described as a “large black tactical backpack.”

The agents stopped him and noticed a bulge in his waistband, prompting them to ask if he had a gun. The man allowed the agents to search him, according to the complaint. They found an AK-47-style pistol in his backpack. The agents also found a “Scream” movie mask, a flashlight and other materials.

The man told the agents he didn’t have a concealed carry permit, the complaint said.

Online court records indicated the man was scheduled to make his initial court appearance Thursday morning.

Court records did not indicate if the man had an attorney who could speak on his behalf and the district attorney’s office said it had no information on who might be representing him. Attempts to find a telephone number for the man were also unsuccessful.

VP Harris agrees to another date for a debate against Vance

Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to another date for a debate against Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the GOP vice-presidential nominee.

That date is Tuesday, Aug. 13, which CBS News had offered and Harris accepted, according to an official from the Biden-Harris campaign granted anonymity to discuss debate negotiations.

She had initially accepted two other dates — July 23 or Aug. 13. But the Biden campaign has only agreed to a vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News, while the Trump campaign has insisted on one from Fox News.

Trump campaign adviser: Vance ‘absolutely’ will help in Rust Belt states

Tony Fabrizio, Trump’s pollster and a senior adviser to his campaign, said Wednesday that Vance will “absolutely” help in pivotal Rust Belt states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where the senator’s blue collar roots and populist views are popular.

“His story is a compelling story,” Fabrizio said while speaking at an event hosted by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and The Cook Political Report.

WATCH: Who is JD Vance?

“You will see JD Vance planted in the Rust Belt states very heavily between now and Election Day,” Fabrizio said. “Which leaves, by the way, the president the opportunity to go to other states that might expand the electoral map.”

Delegate: People can ‘feel happy and confident’ that Vance ‘will understand them’

Kathy Broghammer, a delegate from Wisconsin, said Wednesday that she had hoped JD Vance would be chosen as Trump’s running mate.

“No matter what level you are in your life, he can relate to you because he’s been there,” she said outside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. “I think that people can feel happy and confident that he will understand them.”

Broghammer also said it doesn’t bother her that a woman or person of color was not selected for the role.

“I don’t really see any negativity with any of them,” she said. “I do not see things as far as race. I do not see things as far as gender. If you’re a woman great. If you’re not a woman, that’s fine, too. Whatever color you are, I don’t really care. It’s what’s inside and what can you bring to the country, how can you help us.”

“I love this country,” she added. “We need everything back. Everything is upside down. Everything is lost. I’ve got two kids. They’re young, one’s 29, one’s 30. I mean, the fact that anybody would try to take the American dream from my kids, I’m not having it.”

‘JD is the perfect guy for Trump,’ says New York delegate

Delegate and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman of New York expects U.S. Sen. JD Vance to bring more excitement to the ticket than former Vice President Mike Pence did.

“I like Mike Pence,” Blakeman said Wednesday outside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. “Mike Pence is a good man, but Mike was the kind of guy that you probably would want to be a professor or someone like that.”

“JD is a doer. He’s an action guy,” Blakeman continued. “He’s a man of principle. He really really cares about this country in a very deep way. I think JD is the perfect guy for Trump because he’s strong, and together they will project the strength that the American people want.”

But that doesn’t mean the two always will agree or should agree on everything, Blakeman added.

“When you accept the nomination for vice president, your job is to give counsel to the president, but to do it in private,” he said.

Vance ‘speaks to a different demographic,’ New York congressman says

U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, a Republican from New York State, said Wednesday that the selection of U.S. Sen. JD Vance as Donald Trump’s running mate is part of their party’s embrace of youth.

“We’ve often been criticized for being the older party,” D’Esposito said outside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. “I think he speaks to a different demographic in this country that has far too long been left out.”

“I think he’s exactly what this country is looking for and what we’ve been lacking,” D’Esposito added. “He’s someone who’s a leader. He’s someone who’s fought for this country. He’s someone who’s been an experienced level-headed legislator.”

D’Esposito also said that Vance’s nomination shows that the Republican party “can put our differences aside,” noting that the senator was previously a critic of Trump.

House Speaker to seek the resignation of the Secret Service director

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will be calling on the Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle to resign in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Johnson said Wednesday on Fox News that “it’s inexcusable” what happened and that the House will be launching a task force to investigate the security at the Trump rally last weekend.

“We need answers,” he said in a social media post. Cheatle was scheduled to appear before a House committee next Monday, but Johnson said he’s been told she may not appear.

Most Americans — and Republicans — don’t know much about JD Vance

President Donald Trump’s running mate, U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, is unknown to most Americans.

According to a new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which was conducted before Trump selected the freshman senator as his vice presidential choice, 6 in 10 Americans don’t know enough about Vance to form an opinion.

About 2 in 10 U.S. adults have a favorable view of him, and 22 percent view him negatively.

Among Republicans, 61 percent don’t know enough to have an opinion of Vance. About one-quarter have a positive view of him, and roughly 1 in 10 have a negative view.

Democrats have doubts that Biden is better positioned than Trump to win in November

Democrats are relatively dour about their party’s prospects come November, according to a new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Only about a third of Democrats believe Biden is more capable of winning than Trump is come November. About 3 in 10 Democrats think the two are equally capable of winning and 16 percent say victory is more likely to go to Trump.

By contrast, Republicans are overwhelmingly convinced that Trump is in the best position to win.

Trump also has the edge on Biden when Americans consider who is most capable of handling a crisis — 38 percent to 28 percent. And people are about equally divided on which candidate has the better vision for the country, with 35% saying Biden and 34% Trump.

The poll did offer a bright spot for Biden: 40 percent of adults say he’s more honest than Trump, while about 2 in 10 think the opposite.

11:40 a.m. EDT

Solid majority of democrats want biden to bow out, undercutting his claims average party members back him.

About two-thirds of Democrats say President Joe Biden should withdraw from the presidential race and let his party select a different candidate, according to a new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The poll was conducted two weeks after Biden’s debate flop and undercuts his claims since then that Democrats nationwide support his candidacy.

Democrats are slightly more likely to say they’re dissatisfied with Biden as their nominee now than they were before his halting performance. About half are dissatisfied, an uptick from about 4 in 10 in an AP-NORC poll from June.

Younger Democrats are especially likely to want to see him bow out — and to say they’re dissatisfied with him. Three-quarters of Democrats under the age of 45 want Biden to drop out, compared to about 6 in 10 of those who are older.

If there’s a glimmer of optimism for the Biden campaign, the poll does provide some evidence that Black Democrats are among Biden’s strongest supporters, with roughly half in the survey saying he should continue running, compared to about 3 in 10 white and Hispanic Democrats.

Overall, seven in 10 Americans think Biden should drop out, with Democrats only slightly less likely than Republicans and independents to say that he should make way for a new nominee.

Abortion remains top of mind for many Dems gathered in Milwaukee

Abortion was a central theme as Democratic leaders and women with harrowing personal stories of struggling to access reproductive care gathered in Milwaukee the week of the Republican National Convention.

Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar blamed Trump for abortion bans after the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. Trump frequently takes credit for appointing three U.S. Supreme Court justices who helped overturn the landmark 1973 decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.

“I want to speak directly to American women to tell you there’s only one team on that ballot that cares about you and that’s the Biden-Harris team,” she said. “The Trump-Vance ticket does not care about women.”

Amanda Zurawski, a woman from Austin who went into premature labor, developed sepsis and nearly died, said her story “was only made possible because of Donald Trump, and if it is up to Trump and his new running mate JD Vance, it could become a reality for far too many other Americans.”

Zurawski called Vance’s abortion agenda “extreme,” pointing out that he previously argued against the need for rape and incest exceptions in abortion restrictions.

11:19 a.m. EDT

Nearly two-thirds of democrats want biden to withdraw, new ap-norc poll finds.

Nearly two-thirds of Democrats say President Joe Biden should withdraw from the presidential race and let his party nominate a different candidate, according to a new poll, sharply undercutting his post-debate claim that “average Democrats” are still with him even if some “big names” are turning on him.

The new survey by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, conducted as Biden works to salvage his candidacy two weeks after his debate flop, also found that only about 3 in 10 Democrats are extremely or very confident that he has the mental capability to serve effectively as president, down slightly from 40% in an AP-NORC poll in February.

READ MORE: These 3 Democrats didn’t do better than Biden in this poll against Trump. They also didn’t do any worse

The findings underscore the challenges the 81-year-old president faces as he tries to silence calls from within his own party to leave the race and tries to convince Democrats that he’s the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump. The poll was conducted mostly before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

It’s unclear whether the shooting influenced people’s views of Biden, but the small number of poll interviews completed after the shooting provided no early indication that his prospects improved.

Democrats aim to nominate Biden in first week of August, as some push him to quit the race

Democrats will look to hold a virtual vote to make President Joe Biden their party’s nominee in the first week of August, as Biden has rebuffed calls from some in his party to quit the race after his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump.

The Democratic National Convention’s rules committee will meet on Friday to discuss its plans, according to a letter sent to members obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, and will finalize them next week. The letter from co-chairs Bishop Leah D. Daughtry and Gov. Tim Walz states that the virtual vote won’t take place before Aug. 1 but that the party is still committed to holding a vote before Aug. 7, which had been Ohio’s filing deadline.

“We will not be implementing a rushed virtual voting process,” Daughtry and Walz wrote, “though we will begin our important consideration of how a virtual voting process would work.”

Surgeon general: ‘Thank God’ Trump is OK

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy told The Associated Press he was “horrified” to learn that former President Donald Trump was injured in a shooting on Saturday.

“Thank God that former President Trump survived and is OK,” Murthy said in an interview.

A 20-year-old man’s assassination attempt on Trump using an AR-style rifle happened just weeks after Murthy declared gun violence a public health crisis in America.

WATCH: Republicans try to fire up voters while calling for unity in wake of assassination attempt

Republicans have roundly rejected Murthy’s calls for gun restrictions. Trump fired Murthy, an Obama appointee, from the Surgeon General post in 2017. Murthy is serving a second term with the Biden administration.

Murthy said he was also thinking of Trump rallygoers on Saturday, who feared for their lives.

“That kind of fear, by the way, is what millions of people experience every day in our country,” Murthy said of gun violence across the U.S.

House Dems’ campaign committee says it raised a record $44M the past quarter

The House Democrats’ campaign committee says it raised a record $44 million this past quarter.

Despite the turmoil roiling the party over Biden’s reelection, strategists have said donors are stepping up to give to congressional Democrats as a firewall against a potential second Trump White House.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said Wednesday the total includes $19.7 million raised in June. Biden’s halting debate against Trump was at the end of the month.

3 days after attempted assassination, Trump shooter remains an elusive enigma

After three days, an enigmatic portrait emerged of the 20-year-old man who came close to killing former President Donald Trump with a high-velocity bullet: He was an intelligent loner with few friends, an apparently thin social media footprint and no hints of strong political beliefs that would suggest a motive for an attempted assassination.

READ MORE: Secret Service handling of security at Trump rally under investigation, Homeland Security inspector general says

Even after the FBI cracked into Thomas Matthew Crooks’ cellphone, scoured his computer, home and car, and interviewed more than 100 people, the mystery of why he opened fire on Trump’s rally Saturday, a bullet grazing the GOP nominee’s ear, remained as elusive as the moment it happened.

Former White House official Peter Navarro expected to speak at RNC, AP source says

Former White House official Peter Navarro was released Wednesday from prison and was expected to speak just hours later at the Republican National Convention, according to a person familiar with the schedule who spoke on condition of anonymity before its official release.

Navarro was released from custody after completing his four-month sentence for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons.

Navarro will be heading straight to Milwaukee to speak at the third night of the Republican National Convention.

He is scheduled to speak in the 6 p.m. hour.

Vance ‘will only be loyal to Trump,’ VP Harris says in new video

Vice President Kamala Harris is criticizing Republican Donald Trump’s new running mate ahead of the speech he’s making Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention.

In a video released by President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign , Harris dismissed the choice of Ohio Sen. JD Vance as Trump looking “for someone he knew would be a rubber stamp for his extreme agenda.”

“Make no mistake: JD Vance will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country,” Harris says in the 45-second video.

Trump and other top Republicans have recently intensified their criticism of Harris. That comes amid speculation she could replace Biden at the top of the Democratic presidential ticket if he were to heed intensifying calls for him to leave the race.

Congressman calls for open process to pick new Democratic presidential nominee

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas, the first House Democrat to publicly call on President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, says the Democratic National Committee should not “fast-forward” the nominating process for his reelection bid.

Doggett said in a statement Wednesday that plans for a quick nomination — which the DNC is considering with a virtual roll call before the August convention — would jeopardize their chances of winning. He called instead for an open process to select a new Democratic presidential nominee.

“Fast-forwarding the nomination process is no way to convince the many unconvinced voters in the growing number of battleground states,” he said. “The risk of Trump tyranny is so great that we must put forward our strongest nominee.”

“Short-circuiting the normal Convention process jeopardizes the White House, Senate and House,” he added.

The R.N.C.’s Not-So-Subtle Undertones

The convention’s first night was a continuation of President Trump’s divisive culture war message.

Hi. Welcome to On Politics , your guide to the day in national politics. I’m Giovanni Russonello, typically the morning newsletter writer, covering the evening shift during the conventions.

At the Democratic National Convention last week, members of George Floyd’s family urged action on police reform, and Joe Biden acknowledged the importance “of rooting out our systemic racism” during his acceptance speech.

The message was quite different yesterday as the Republican convention got underway. “America is not a racist country,” Nikki Haley said, as she portrayed Democrats as unpatriotic for harping on the prevalence of discrimination in American life.

On Night 1 of the G.O.P. convention, no speaker mentioned Jacob Blake, a Black man who had been shot in the back on Sunday by police officers in Kenosha, Wis., after trying to break up a fight. Nor did anyone mention, say, the country’s gaping racial wealth gap , or the disproportionate impact of pollution on Black communities.

Instead, many Republican speakers assailed the protesters fighting racial injustice in cities across the country, portraying them as violent and extreme and arguing that as president, Mr. Biden would encourage them to run amok.

Inclusivity should become a central part of the organisation, planning and teaching at each school. This can only happen if all teachers have a sound understanding of how to recognise and address barriers to learning, and how to plan for diversity. The key to managing inclusivity is ensuring that barriers are identified and addressed by all the relevant support structures within the school community, including teachers, District-Based Support Teams, Institutional-Level Support Teams, parents and Special Schools as Resource Centres. To address barriers in the classroom, teachers should use various curriculum differentiation strategies such as those included in the Department of Basic Education’s Guidelines for Inclusive Teaching and Learning (2010).

Will you support our work and become a Vox Member today? 2020 Presidential Election The difference between the DNC and RNC, in one tweet Roll calls at the two conventions showcase a stark contrast between the parties. by Cameron Peters On Monday, the Republican National Convention got underway in Charlotte, North Carolina — and even before it shifts into high gear with a lineup of primetime speakers in the evening, the contrast with last week’s Democratic convention is stark. Take, for example, the roll call. At the traditional in-person political conventions in years past, delegates declared their states’ votes for party nominee from the convention floor . Last week, though, the DNC had some fun with the format, and the result was a delightful highlight reel showcasing the diversity of all 57 states and territories. Also, there was a delicious-looking platter of calamari . As Vox’s Anna North noted : [The] format allowed states and territories to show all Americans their history, like Alabama Rep. Terri Sewell’s speech from the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma , or the Oklahoma delegation’s capsule history of the Tulsa race massacre ; their connection to presumptive nominee Joe Biden, like Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey’s speech in front of the former VP’s old house in Scranton; and sometimes their quirkier side, like Rhode Island’s state appetizer, calamari. The RNC opted for ... not that. While the DNC roll call showcased the diversity of America and made a point of featuring Indigenous people , Black and Hispanic Americans, activists, and LGBTQ people, the RNC roll call was a procession dominated by older white men, all in front of a white background emblazoned with #RNC2020. The stark lack of diversity wasn’t the only eccentric moment to come out of the RNC roll call — Vox’s Aaron Rupar has plenty more here — but it sharply underscores the fact that the GOP is an increasingly white party. In the 116th Congress , for example, there are 56 Black lawmakers, and just two of them are Republicans. A similar proportion exists when it comes to gender: There are 131 women in this Congress, and just 24 are members of the Republican Party. Part of this is because the RNC started planning the virtual aspect of the convention much later It’s also a good reminder that conventions aren’t all that easy to plan, and the DNC got a head start. Case in point: In June, the Democratic National Committee settled on a mostly virtual event ; Republicans moved theirs to Jacksonville, Florida , with the coronavirus still raging. By the time the GOP saw the writing on the wall in late July and canceled the Florida portion of the convention, they were in a time crunch. Now, the contrast between back-to-back convention weeks promises to be striking. The DNC was slickly produced and frequently uplifting, if at times unavoidably strange in the midst of a pandemic. As Rupar writes : Whether the RNC will end up going similarly smoothly remains to be seen. But one thing that can be said is that if Trump wanted to have an in-person convention this month, he needed to do the work back in February, March, and April. Instead, he spent that time insisting the virus would go away on its own and passing the buck to governors who lack the resources and jurisdictional authority to handle a pandemic that has shuttered economies and spread like wildfire across state boundaries. So now, instead of serving as a symbol of Trump’s successes, the RNC will serve as a symbol of everything he’s done wrong. If Monday’s roll call — and Trump’s accompanying tweeting — is anything to judge by, though, the RNC will be a very different event from the DNC. The RNC will run from Monday through Thursday, and Trump is scheduled to make an appearance every night of the show. You can follow along with all of Vox’s coverage at our convention hub here .

Well, you helped us blow past that. Today, we are extending that goal to 25,000. Millions turn to Vox each month to understand an increasingly chaotic world — from what is happening with the USPS to the coronavirus crisis to what is, quite possibly, the most consequential presidential election of our lifetimes.

Topics › 2024 U.S. Presidential Election › Where DNCs and RNCs Have Taken Place National conventions. When the Democratic Party picked the city of Milwaukee as the location for its 2020 National Convention, it chose a Midwestern city other than Chicago for the first time in more than 100 years . The Republican Party apparently hasn't forgotten how Democrats invaded their National Convention turf four years ago. The 2024 RNC took place in Wisconsin's most populous city as the Midwest is expected to once more play a key role in November's presidential election . The Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago today. Picking the city, Democrats have reverted to familiar Midwestern territory. Republican have branched out much more within the region, visiting Kansas City and Cleveland multiple times (including in 2016) as well as St. Paul (in 2008) and Detroit once. Both Democrats and Republicans have also favored New York City as well as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for their conventions and neither party has branched out to the West Coast more than a couple of times. But while Democrats have also added East Coast locations Boston and Atlantic City to their roster over the years, Republicans have been more active in the South, visiting Dallas, Tampa and New Orleans. Both parties have held their annual events in Miami, Houston and Charlotte, North Carolina.

How to Get an RNC Nursing Certification The numerous initials you may see after a registered nurse's RN designation can be confusing, and many wonder about the RNC meaning. A "C" after RN indicates their taking and passing a certification exam offered by the National Certification Corporation (NCC). The initials that follow RNC – separated by a dash – stand for the specialty or subspecialty, such as neonatal, obstetric, gynecologic or women's health in which they are certified. This certification is not required, but it shows the nurses are confident enough in their abilities to allow a third party to evaluate their skills. Consider Reasons for Certification Since certification is voluntary, you may wonder if it's worth doing. According to Workingnurse.com, 97 percent of nurses say certification boosts confidence and helps nurses do their job better. It also provides instant recognition by bosses, coworkers and even patients that you are a nurse who stays current in the profession and wants to deliver a high level of care. Eighty-six percent of nurse managers prefer to hire certified nurses. Ultimately, having one or more certifications can increase salaries by $7,300 or more. More For You What is the difference between the nclex-pn and the nclex-rn, how to become a maternity ward nurse, comparison of pediatric nurse salary to a registered nurse's salary, how to renew an expired certified nurse's aide certification, how to renew an expired cna certification, check for your specialty. NCC offers exams to become certified (and receive an RNC certificate) in specific specialties, including: Advertisement Article continues below this ad Obstetric and Neonatal Quality and Safety (C-ONQS) Care of the Extremely Low Birth Weight Neonate (C-ELBW) Neonatal Neuro-Intensive Care (C-NNIC) Electronic Fetal Monitoring (C-EFM) Neonatal Pediatric Transport (C-NP) Inpatient Obstetric Nursing (RNC-OB) Maternal Newborn Nursing (RNC-MNN) Low-Risk Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing (RNC-LRN) Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing (RNC-NIC) Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP-BC) Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner (WHNP-BC) Rules for RNC Certification To test for any certification, you must include a copy of your state nursing license. Some tests have additional requirements, too, such as work experience. For example, to test for certification in Inpatient Obstetric Nursing, Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing, Low Risk Neonatal Nursing or Maternal Newborn Nursing, you must have at least 24 months of recent work experience consisting of at least 2,000 hours. However, no practice experience is required to test for Obstetric and Neonatal Quality and Safety, Neonatal Pediatric Transport, Care of the Extremely Low Birth Weight Neonate and others, but it is recommended that test takers have work experience in the subject matter to do well on the test. To take the tests for Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner or Neonatal Nurse Practitioner certification exam, nurse practitioners (NP) must have completed a formal program that prepares them to work in the field and awards a graduate degree that was earned within the previous eight years. When NPs cannot meet these criteria, they may be able to use the alternate certification program, which requires a letter from their employer verifying 2,080 hours of work within the past three years, plus numerous other criteria. Fees vary for the tests, but range from several hundred dollars for most tests to several thousand dollars for the alternate certification program. Be sure to read the specific requirements for any test you plan to take. Make sure that all of your application information is accurate, because most of the test fees are nonrefundable. In addition, you may be charged fees to make corrections. Rules for Retesting and Maintaining Certification If you fail a test for certification, you can retake it once at no additional cost. After that you'll need to pay the fee again to retake the test. All nurses who earn a certificate from NCC must renew it every three years by taking continuing education courses. NCC explains that new technologies and advances can cause changes in specialties and subspecialties within three years, so it's important to keep up on them.

When it comes to presentations, versatility is the name of the game. Having a variety of presentation styles up your sleeve can make a world of difference in keeping your audience engaged. Here are 8 essential presentation types that every presenter should be well-acquainted with: 1. Informative presentation Ever sat through a presentation that left you feeling enlightened? That’s the power of an informative presentation.  This presentation style is all about sharing knowledge and shedding light on a particular topic. Whether you’re diving into the depths of quantum physics or explaining the intricacies of the latest social media trends, informative presentations aim to increase the audience’s understanding. When delivering an informative presentation, simplify complex topics with clear visuals and relatable examples. Organize your content logically, starting with the basics and gradually delving deeper and always remember to keep jargon to a minimum and encourage questions for clarity. Academic presentations and research presentations are great examples of informative presentations. An effective academic presentation involves having clear structure, credible evidence, engaging delivery and supporting visuals. Provide context to emphasize the topic’s significance, practice to perfect timing, and be ready to address anticipated questions.  2. Persuasive presentation If you’ve ever been swayed by a passionate speaker armed with compelling arguments, you’ve experienced a persuasive presentation .  This type of presentation is like a verbal tug-of-war, aiming to convince the audience to see things from a specific perspective. Expect to encounter solid evidence, logical reasoning and a dash of emotional appeal. With persuasive presentations, it’s important to know your audience inside out and tailor your message to their interests and concerns. Craft a compelling narrative with a strong opening, a solid argument and a memorable closing. Additionally, use visuals strategically to enhance your points. Examples of persuasive presentations include presentations for environmental conservations, policy change, social issues and more. Here are some engaging presentation templates you can use to get started with:  3. Demonstration or how-to presentation A Demonstration or How-To Presentation is a type of presentation where the speaker showcases a process, technique, or procedure step by step, providing the audience with clear instructions on how to replicate the demonstrated action.  A demonstrative presentation is particularly useful when teaching practical skills or showing how something is done in a hands-on manner. These presentations are commonly used in various settings, including educational workshops, training sessions, cooking classes, DIY tutorials, technology demonstrations and more. Designing creative slides for your how-to presentations can heighten engagement and foster better information retention.  Speakers can also consider breaking down the process into manageable steps, using visual aids, props and sometimes even live demonstrations to illustrate each step. The key is to provide clear and concise instructions, engage the audience with interactive elements and address any questions that may arise during the presentation. 4. Training or instructional presentation Training presentations are geared towards imparting practical skills, procedures or concepts — think of this as the more focused cousin of the demonstration presentation.  Whether you’re teaching a group of new employees the ins and outs of a software or enlightening budding chefs on the art of soufflé-making, training presentations are all about turning novices into experts. To maximize the impact of your training or instructional presentation, break down complex concepts into digestible segments. Consider using real-life examples to illustrate each point and create a connection.  You can also create an interactive presentation by incorporating elements like quizzes or group activities to reinforce understanding. 5. Sales presentation Sales presentations are one of the many types of business presentations and the bread and butter of businesses looking to woo potential clients or customers. With a sprinkle of charm and a dash of persuasion, these presentations showcase products, services or ideas with one end goal in mind: sealing the deal. A successful sales presentation often has key characteristics such as a clear value proposition, strong storytelling, confidence and a compelling call to action. Hence, when presenting to your clients or stakeholders, focus on benefits rather than just features.  Anticipate and address potential objections before they arise and use storytelling to showcase how your offering solves a specific problem for your audience. Utilizing visual aids is also a great way to make your points stand out and stay memorable. A sales presentation can be used to promote service offerings, product launches or even consultancy proposals that outline the expertise and industry experience of a business. Here are some template examples you can use for your next sales presentation: 6. Pitch presentation Pitch presentations are your ticket to garnering the interest and support of potential investors, partners or stakeholders. Think of your pitch deck as your chance to paint a vivid picture of your business idea or proposal and secure the resources you need to bring it to life.  Business presentations aside, individuals can also create a portfolio presentation to showcase their skills, experience and achievements to potential clients, employers or investors.  Craft a concise and compelling narrative. Clearly define the problem your idea solves and how it stands out in the market. Anticipate questions and practice your answers. Project confidence and passion for your idea. 7. Motivational or inspirational presentation Feeling the need for a morale boost? That’s where motivational presentations step in. These talks are designed to uplift and inspire, often featuring personal anecdotes, heartwarming stories and a generous serving of encouragement. Form a connection with your audience by sharing personal stories that resonate with your message. Use a storytelling style with relatable anecdotes and powerful metaphors to create an emotional connection. Keep the energy high and wrap up your inspirational presentations with a clear call to action. Inspirational talks and leadership presentations aside, a motivational or inspirational presentation can also be a simple presentation aimed at boosting confidence, a motivational speech focused on embracing change and more. 8. Status or progress report presentation Projects and businesses are like living organisms, constantly evolving and changing. Status or progress report presentations keep everyone in the loop by providing updates on achievements, challenges and future plans. It’s like a GPS for your team, ensuring everyone stays on track. Be transparent about achievements, challenges and future plans. Utilize infographics, charts and diagrams to present your data visually and simplify information. By visually representing data, it becomes easier to identify trends, make predictions and strategize based on evidence. Now that you’ve learned about the different types of presentation methods and how to use them, you’re on the right track to creating a good presentation that can boost your confidence and enhance your presentation skills .  Selecting the most suitable presentation style is akin to choosing the right outfit for an occasion – it greatly influences how your message is perceived. Here’s a more detailed guide to help you make that crucial decision: 1. Define your objectives Begin by clarifying your presentation’s goals. Are you aiming to educate, persuade, motivate, train or perhaps sell a concept? Your objectives will guide you to the most suitable presentation type.  For instance, if you’re aiming to inform, an informative presentation would be a natural fit. On the other hand, a persuasive presentation suits the goal of swaying opinions. 2. Know your audience Regardless if you’re giving an in-person or a virtual presentation — delve into the characteristics of your audience. Consider factors like their expertise level, familiarity with the topic, interests and expectations.  If your audience consists of professionals in your field, a more technical presentation might be suitable. However, if your audience is diverse and includes newcomers, an approachable and engaging style might work better. 3. Analyze your content Reflect on the content you intend to present. Is it data-heavy, rich in personal stories or focused on practical skills? Different presentation styles serve different content types.  For data-driven content, an informative or instructional presentation might work best. For emotional stories, a motivational presentation could be a compelling choice. 4. Consider time constraints Evaluate the time you have at your disposal. If your presentation needs to be concise due to time limitations, opt for a presentation style that allows you to convey your key points effectively within the available timeframe. A pitch presentation, for example, often requires delivering impactful information within a short span. 5. Leverage visuals Visual aids are powerful tools in presentations. Consider whether your content would benefit from visual representation. If your PowerPoint presentations involve step-by-step instructions or demonstrations, a how-to presentation with clear visuals would be advantageous. Conversely, if your content is more conceptual, a motivational presentation could rely more on spoken words. 6. Align with the setting Take the presentation environment into account. Are you presenting in a formal business setting, a casual workshop or a conference? Your setting can influence the level of formality and interactivity in your presentation. For instance, a demonstration presentation might be ideal for a hands-on workshop, while a persuasive presentation is great for conferences. 7. Gauge audience interaction Determine the level of audience engagement you want. Interactive presentations work well for training sessions, workshops and small group settings, while informative or persuasive presentations might be more one-sided. 8. Flexibility Stay open to adjusting your presentation style on the fly. Sometimes, unexpected factors might require a change of presentation style. Be prepared to adjust on the spot if audience engagement or reactions indicate that a different approach would be more effective. Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and the best type of presentation may vary depending on the specific situation and your unique communication goals. By carefully considering these factors, you can choose the most effective presentation type to successfully engage and communicate with your audience. To save time, use a presentation software or check out these presentation design and presentation background guides to create a presentation that stands out.     What are some effective ways to begin and end a presentation? Capture your audience’s attention from the start of your presentation by using a surprising statistic, a compelling story or a thought-provoking question related to your topic.  To conclude your presentation , summarize your main points, reinforce your key message and leave a lasting impression with a powerful call to action or a memorable quote that resonates with your presentation’s theme. How can I make my presentation more engaging and interactive? To create an engaging and interactive presentation for your audience, incorporate visual elements such as images, graphs and videos to illustrate your points visually. Share relatable anecdotes or real-life examples to create a connection with your audience.  You can also integrate interactive elements like live polls, open-ended questions or small group discussions to encourage participation and keep your audience actively engaged throughout your presentation. Which types of presentations require special markings Some presentation types require special markings such as how sales presentations require persuasive techniques like emphasizing benefits, addressing objections and using compelling visuals to showcase products or services.  Demonstrations and how-to presentations on the other hand require clear markings for each step, ensuring the audience can follow along seamlessly.  That aside, pitch presentations require highlighting unique selling points, market potential and the competitive edge of your idea, making it stand out to potential investors or partners.

They can also serve as base maps for resource management and shoreline development planning by state and local government.Charts depict the location of the shoreline, minimum water depths, aids to navigation, hazards to navigation, the nature and form of the coast, water depths, the general character and configuration of the sea bottom, the rise and fall of the tides, protected areas, and the characteristics of the Earth's magnetism.The suite of charts is compiled and maintained with data provided by federal, state, and private partners such as the National Ocean Service elements, United States Coast Guard, United States Army Corps of Engineers, United States Power Squadron Auxiliary, Port Authorities.The charts are currently available as Lithographically printed paper charts, Electronic Raster Nautical Charts (RNCs), up-to-date paper charts (printed with print on demand technology), and are now offered as Digital Vector Electronic Nautical Charts (ENC).The NOAA RNCs are electronic images of the NOAA paper charts. The NOAA RNCs were productized with a successful Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with private sector partner BSB Electronic Charts, a subsidiary of Maptech, Inc. Andover, Massachusetts. As of November 1, 2005 the NOAA RNC's are available for free download via the NOAA website. Purpose: These product offerings are an integral part of NOAA's long term strategy for producing paper and electronic charts for navigation of U.S. waters. Charts are carriage requirements for commercial vessels. Notes: 1541 Supplemental Information: The official NOAA raster charts are updated weekly by NOAA for critical Notice to Mariners corrections and are composed into the established BSB format and distributed by the NOAA CRADA partner without cost to the government. In the year 2000, NOAA introduced a service that updates the suite of RNCs weekly for critical Notice to Mariners corrections. This service distributes electronic "patches" by email to subscribers of the service on a weekly basis. The "patches" are then automatically applied to the raster charts, thus updating them for critical chart changes published in the Notice to Mariners. This service is unique in the world. With the availability of this service, the raster nautical charts are suitable for use by professional mariners and will meet international standards for electronic charts.Each chart is published periodically as a new edition depending on several parameters such as critical corrections, changing physical conditions, up to date data availability, high vessel traffic area, and demand. Included here are the key definitions used in the update record.Last Update Type - The type of chart updates contained in the update file. "NCE" indicates a new chart edition corresponding to the release of a new NOAA paper chart. "NTM" indicates that the Chart Update contains Notice toMariner corrections.Revision Number - The Chart Update number. For example, an NTM chart, 34.8 means that this is the 8th Chart Update to NOAA chart edition 34.00. For an NCE chart, 35.00 means that this is the 35th new chart edition update, which is to be applied to NOAA chart edition 34.00.Last Updated Date - The date of the most recent Notice to Mariners correction made to the chart by a NOAA cartographer. This correction was based on a Notice to Mariners published by the US Coast Guard, NIMA, CHS or chart change issued by NOAA.Cleared Date - The date through which NOAA cartographers have cleared the chart as being up-to-date. If the Cleared Date is more recent than the Last Updated Date, no additional changes are necessary during the period between the two dates.

Data Quality Accuracy: The Nautical chart features are according to the U. S. Nautical chart symbols, abbreviations and terms which are in Chart No. 1. Chart 1 can be found at http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/mcd/chartno1.htm.The NOAA charts are built and maintained according to the policies and procedures documented in the two volumes of the Nautical Chart Manual. Questions in reference to symbols, abbreviations, policy and procedures are managed by the Marine Chart Division, Quality Assurance Policy and Standards Branch (QAPSB). For inquiries visit: http://ocsdata.ncd.noaa.gov/dr/inquiry.asp Horizontal Positional Accuracy: The art and science of navigation, piloting, and chart making has not been immune to the effects of technology.Prior to 1995, The paper charts were composed manually. In 1995 the paper charts were scanned to create the raster charts. Both, the paper and raster charts are composed from the same digital files.The availability of digital chart products and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) has drastically changed navigation. Navigation systems using DGPS for locating a vessel's position on the earth have put mariners in a unique predicament due to a false perception of greater positional accuracy of features portrayed on the charts. In many cases, the DGPS is more accurate than the surveying technology that was used to put the soundings and features on the nautical chart, paper or raster. This discrepancy is even more pronounced when chart scale is taken into consideration. On a 1:40,000 scale chart, a feature could have a potential error of 40 to 80 meters (about 130-160 feet) due to scale alone. This is often the cause of the "ship on the pier" situation, where the vessel tied up at the pier appears on the navigation system to be on the pier rather than alongside.Another source of this type of discrepancy is that symbols on a chart of a given scale may be a representation for multiple real features that are too close together to be shown at chart scale. Similarly, symbols may be displaced from their original location for legibility and presentation. This also applies to products derived from paper charts, such as raster charts and vector charts created by digitizing the paper chart The NOAA Nautical Chart Manual has an extensive description of the horizontal datum. Vertical Positional Accuracy: Nautical Charts are navigational tools. Thus, depths are biased for navigation purposes. Charts use multiple vertical datums (Mean higher high water [MHHW]; Mean high water [MHW]; Mean sea level [MSL]; Mean low water [MLW]; Low water datum [LWD]; Mean lower low water [MLLW]; Gulf Coast low water datum [GCLWD].) The NOAA Nautical chart manual has an extensive description of the vertical datum used. Sounding datums used in coastal areas for nautical charting are determined by local observations, ideally over a period of 19 years. The official time period over which tide observations are taken to obtain mean values for tidal datums has been standardized by NOS. The present National Tidal Datum Epoch is from 1983 through 2001. There have been three epochs used previously over the past century: 1924 through 1942, 1941 through 1959, and 1960 through 1978. The individual chart title block documents the datum used for that chart. Completeness Report: The charts are navigational tools. Sounding datums used in coastal areas for nautical charting are not referred to the 1929 datum but are determined by local observations, ideally over a period of 19 years. The official time period over which tide observations are taken to obtain mean values for tidal datums has been standardized by NOS. The present National Tidal Datum Epoch is from 1983 through 2001. There have been three epochs used previously in the past century: 1924 through 1942, 1941 through 1959, and 1960 through 1978. The individual chart title block documents the datum used for that chart. Charts use multiple vertical datums (Mean higher high water (MHHW); Mean high water (MHW) ; Mean sea level (MSL); Mean low water (MLW); Low water datum (LWD); Mean lower low water (MLLW); Gulf Coast low water datum (GCLWD). Each organization that provides source data to be applied to the chart has data acquisition and data processing and survey parameters such as vertical and horizontal datums, and quality assurance standards. The Marine Chart Division uses source data according to the policy and procedures specified in the charting manual for each source provider. The density of charting features depends on the scale of the chart or chart inset. Conceptual Consistency: It is imperative to recognize that when a symbol, abbreviation, or policy changes, it does not require that all preexisting data on the charts change. Therefore, there are inconsistencies on the charts depending on policy at the time the feature was applied or updated. Process Steps Process step 1. Description: The charts are cartographic products derived as specified in the NOAA Nautical Chart Manual. The suite of charts is compiled and maintained with data provided by federal, state, and private partners such as National Ocean Service elements, United States Coast Guard, United States Army Corps of Engineers, United States Power Squadron Auxiliary, and Port Authorities. These data are constantly being collected and the charts are updated through these sources. The Marine Chart Division evaluates source data, catalogues source data, extracts quality data which are navigationally significant to be applied to the charts. Charts are available in multiple mediums, lithographically printed charts, Raster charts on CDs with weekly updates for navigationally critical information, POD charts that are updated for navigationally critical information on a weekly basis.

Privacy Overview What is DRNC (Drift RNC) The RNC is a crucial component in the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) Radio Access Network (RAN). It controls several Node B base stations connected to it. The RNC plays a pivotal role in managing and controlling radio channels within the network. It handles both the control plane (signaling) and the user plane (data traffic) functions. Base Transceiver Station (BTS) : Responsible for radio transmission and reception. Base Station Controller (BSC) : Manages multiple BTSs and handles call setup, handovers, and frequency allocation. Transcoder (TC) : Converts voice traffic between the GSM codec and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) formats. WCDMA RAN builds upon GSM. The WCDMA Radio Network Controller (RNC) is the central controller for the RAN. Controlling and managing the RAN . Managing radio channels . Handling mobility management functions . Providing encryption services for secure data transfer. Connecting to Node B (base stations) via the Iub interface . Interfacing with the circuit core via the Iu-CS interface . Interfacing with the packet core via the Iu-PS interface . DRNC comes into play during soft handover scenarios. Soft handover occurs when a User Equipment (UE) is connected to multiple Node Bs simultaneously. If the UE is handed over to a cell controlled by a different RNC (other than the Serving RNC), it is said to have drifted . Despite the drift, the RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection still terminates with the Serving RNC (SRNC) . SHO happens when a UE is connected to two or more Node Bs. If the UE is connected to cells within the same Node B, it’s called softer handover . Macrodiversity combining (MDC) during SHO enhances reliability. SRNC’s user plane isn’t just a transport switch due to SHO benefits.
