RNC 2024 Day 2: Trump feted by former rivals Haley, DeSantis in show of GOP unity

Many of the speeches Monday focused on economic policies and claims that Biden had mishandled the economy.

On Tuesday, the overview shifts to immigration and crime, according to Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee, with the theme of "Make America Safe Once Again."

Be on the lookout for speakers to argue that they have been damaged by Biden-era immigration policies. Trump and Republicans believe the border debate is among their strongest issues.

As part of a broader attempt to blame crime on border policies, expect speeches from family members of slain people in cases where immigrants in the U.S. illegally face criminal charges. Trump has repeatedly brought up the issue at rallies this year.

Last week, the Trump campaign and the RNC announced that the brother of Rachel Morin - a Maryland woman whom prosecutors say was killed and raped by a fugitive from El Salvador - would be one of the speakers at the convention. Officials say the suspect, Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, entered the U.S. illegally after allegedly killing a woman in his home country.

He was arrested last month in Oklahoma and charged with first-degree murder and rape in Morin's death.

Following chants of "we love Trump" from the crowd, RNC Chair Michael Whatley declared that the convention is in recess until 5 p.m. CT Tuesday.

CeFaan Kim has more on Donald Trump's arrival at the Republican National Convention two days after the assassination attempt at his rally.

Rapper Amber Rose, one of several celebrities speaking at the convention, spoke on Monday night about what made her come around to former President Donald Trump in a speech that drew applause from the former president.

"The media has lied about Donald Trump," she said, eliciting lots of "yeahs" from the crowd, according to an ABC Digital reporter.

"The first person I knew that supported Donald Trump was my father. I was shocked. My entire family is racially diverse. I believed the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist," she said.

She said the "left told her to hate Trump," but that she did her research and started watching rallies.

"I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay or straight. It's all love," she said, prompting a large applause from Trump.

Trump smiled as Rose said, "When I met the president and Melania for the first time, he was kind and generous and funny as hell -- very funny."

She touched on high gas prices and a "failing" education system.

"When you cut through the lies, you realize the truth. American families were better when Donald Trump was president," she said.

Former President Donald Trump appeared emotional while listening to "God Bless the USA" as the crowd chanted "U.S.A!" -- marking the former president's first public appearance since the assassination attempt at his rally on Saturday.

Chants of "we love Trump" could also be heard as he stood in the crowd.

Former President Trump appeared at the RNC after an assassination attempt Monday.

Trump gave a standing ovation to the two speakers, billed by the RNC as "everyday Americans," who spoke following his arrival.
