Remarks at the 2024 Republican National Convention - July 16, 2024
July 16, 2024
Good evening, Milwaukee. [applause] We always say that this is the most important election in our lifetime, but we know deep down this one truly is. Our Constitution and the soul of our very nation are on the ballot. Under Joe Biden, the American people have suffered crisis after crisis. From the Biden border, the most wide-open border in our nation's history. To Bidenflation, the highest rate of inflation in my lifetime, devastating hardworking families with skyrocketing prices for groceries, gas, and utilities. To Biden's violent crime crisis, fueled by […]

Remarks at the 2024 Republican National Convention - July 15, 2024
July 15, 2024
Good evening, and what a great evening it is. I am Marsha Blackburn from the great state of Tennessee. [cheers] And yes, last week I did have the honor of chairing the Republican Platform Committee. We produced a different kind of platform, one that is dedicated to the forgotten men and women of America. People like Brad Bordeaux, a small businessman from White Bluff, Tennessee. Brad leads Bordeaux Metals. By the end of the Obama-Biden administration, high taxes, massive government spending, and overregulation almost put him out of business. But […]

Remarks at the 2024 Republican National Convention - July 15, 2024
July 15, 2024
Good evening, Milwaukee. I'm Katie Britt. [applause] We are all here tonight for one reason—we need to change the direction of our nation, and Donald Trump is the change we need. [applause] To my fellow moms and dads across America—I think we all know that raising a family is hard. Add in smartphones and social media, and we already have plenty to worry about. But then Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came around. Now our lives are that much more difficult and way more expensive. Under Biden-Harris, prices are high […]

Remarks at the 2024 Republican National Convention – July 15, 2024
July 15, 2024
Good evening! You all look fantastic. I love the cowboy hat. And a shout-out to South Dakota – hi! I’m Governor Kristi Noem from the great state of South Dakota. [cheers] Leadership has consequences. It matters who’s in the White House. Now, I’ve been a governor under both President Trump and Joe Biden, and people ask me all the time, what’s the biggest difference. And I tell them that President Trump honored the Constitution. He let me do my job. [cheers] And he let me keep my people free. [applause […]

Remarks at the 2024 Republican National Convention - July 15, 2024
July 15, 2024
Today is a celebration. The American spirit is alive and well. And we have once again nominated for president the founding father of the America First movement, Donald John Trump. [cheers and applause] Unfortunately, this is also a somber moment for our nation. Two days ago, evil came for the man we admire and love so much. I thank God that his hand was on President Trump [applause] and I pray for the family of Corey Comperatore, who was killed at the rally, and for other attendees who were wounded. […]
