The Republican National Convention will go forward as planned, former President Donald Trump said less than 24 hours before its start and less than half a day after he was spared by mere inches from an apparent assassin’s bullet.

Trump said he considered delaying the party’s nominating convention in light of his near brush with death Saturday evening in Butler County, Pennsylvania, but said he would not be chased off the campaign trail.

“Based on yesterday’s terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin, and The Republican National Convention, by two days, but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else. Therefore, I will be leaving for Milwaukee, as scheduled, at 3:30 P.M. TODAY. Thank you,” the presumptive Republican nominee wrote on his Truth Social media platform.

“UNITE AMERICA!” he declared soon after, capitalization his.

In a joint statement issued by Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chairman Lara Trump, the RNC said Trump is doing well and that the party looked forward to nominating him in the coming days.

“President Trump looks forward to joining you all in Milwaukee as we proceed with our convention to nominate him to serve as the 47th President of the United States. As our party’s nominee, President Trump will continue to share his vision to Make America Great Again,” they wrote.

Still in question — and nearly forgotten amid so many unanswered questions surrounding the lapse in security that let a 20-year-old shoot at a former U.S. President — is who Trump might pick to serve as his Vice President.

Short-listed number-two candidates like U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, and J.D. Vance, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, are all scheduled to speak, according to the RNC.

Also scheduled to appear during the nominating convention, according to the party, are Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White, former Republican presidential candidates Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, and Perry Johnson, and former Trump administration officials ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Small Business Administration chief Linda McMahon.

The Republican National Convention begins Monday runs through Thursday. The Democratic National Convention is scheduled for August 19 to 22 in Chicago, Illinois.
