From his box just above the convention floor, Trump smiled at times as he watched his former opponents Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Vivek Ramaswamy voice their full support for his candidacy.

If there were any doubts that this was Trump’s party, Tuesday’s programming put them to rest.

“I’ll start by making one thing perfectly clear: Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period,” said Ms Haley, the former UN Ambassador who posed the strongest challenge to Trump earlier this year.

She said Trump had asked her to speak at the event in Milwaukee in the name of “unity".
