RNC day 4 highlights: Trump makes first major speech since rally shooting

The convention adjourned just after 12:30 a.m. ET.

Sam Brown, the Nevada Republican nominee for Senate, told NBC News that the recognition from Trump during his convention speech was "incredibly humbling."

"It’s a testament to what an incredible and gracious leader President Trump is," Brown said as he left the Fiserv Forum.

Trump thanked Brown toward the end of his remarks, telling the assembled Republicans that Brown, an Afghanistan veteran, "paid the ultimate price."

The Biden campaign released a statement during Trump's remarks, calling him "weak on the world stage."

"Donald Trump isn’t just a threat to security here at home, he’s a threat to the world order," the statement said.

"He repeatedly embarrassed America on the world stage," it added, pointing to Trump's being "soft on Iran" and his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, among other examples.

While Trump's trial dominated the news for much of the spring, the rapidly shifting nature of the news cycle meant that there was little mention of his felony conviction.

He became the first person nominated for president by a major party after being convicted of a felony. And while he made one reference to it in his speech, even the long list of speakers the last four days made little mention or criticism of those involved — even though that had been a frequent subject of his remarks and fundraising appeals before the assassination attempt.

Trump finished his convention speech after 93 minutes, ending it at 11:05 p.m. CT.

The United Auto Workers hit back at Trump after he criticized the union.

".@realDonaldTrump is a scab and a billionaire and that’s who he represents. We know which side we’re on," the union's X account posted. "Not his."

Earlier in his remarks, Trump said the UAW should be "ashamed" of car factories' being built in other countries.

"The United Auto Workers ought to be ashamed for allowing this to happen, and the leader of the United Auto Workers should be fired immediately, and every single autoworker — union and nonunion — should be voting for Donald Trump, because we're going to bring back car manufacturing, and we're going to bring it back fast," Trump said.

The UAW has endorsed Biden.

Despite Trump's comment earlier that he wouldn't mention Biden again, he mocked Bifen's goal of curing cancer, though he didn't mention him by name.

"This man said, we're going to find a cure to cancer. Nothing happened," he said. Trump said he would cure cancer, and Alzheimer's and "so many other things" in a second term.

Biden's "Cancer Moonshot" plan, which he led when he was vice president and relaunched as president, aims to drastically cut the death rate from cancer. It's a deeply personal topic for the president, whose eldest son, Beau Biden, died of cancer in 2015.

As Trump tried to play up his administration's foreign policy, he quipped: "I had no wars, other than ISIS, which I defeated. ... We had no wars. I could stop wars with a telephone call."

We fact-checked something similar earlier tonight. Trump is trying not to count wars America was already engaged in when he took office (like Afghanistan), and at least 65 active-duty U.S. troops died in hostile action during the Trump administration, per Pentagon statistics.

Some people have started leaving their seats and filing out of the arena as Trump’s speech surpasses his records in 2016 and 2020. He has been speaking for more than 80 minutes.
