Former President Trump held the stage for over 90 minutes on Thursday night in delivering his speech accepting his party’s nomination for president.

The remarks were the culmination of four days of speeches and gatherings in Milwaukee.

The convention’s first three days, held in the shadow of an assassination attempt on Trump, have sought to showcase unity and enthusiasm around Trump’s third White House run. Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), gave his first remarks to the convention Wednesday night, offering his view of where the party, and the country, needs to go.

Trump’s family has been omnipresent, with even his eldest grandchild giving a speech. On Thursday, former first lady Melania Trump and daughter Ivanka Trump made their first appearances.

Here’s how the day went:

The EU just re-elected its president for another five years — here's what that means for tech
The European Union's president, Ursula von der Leyen, was confirmed in the role for another five years Thursday after parliamentarians voted overwhelmingly to re-elect her. The scale of her support (401 votes for versus 284 against with 15 abstentions) -- a far firmer endorsement than last time around -- may say more about lawmakers' concerns over rising geopolitical uncertainties, with war still raging in Ukraine and the U.S. headed for an election in November that could return Donald Trump to the White House by 2025, than reflecting ardent passion for her leadership. Von der Leyen has already pressed ahead with major reforms in digital policy.
