The Republican National Convention kicked off day one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Monday under the theme "Make America Wealthy Once Again."
Ohio Senator J.D. Vance was nominated for Vice President of the United States to wide praise.
President Donald Trump made an entrance to raucous applause.
Here are some highlights from day one:
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin: "Under President Trump, America had high growth and low inflation. Under Joe Biden, America has low growth and high inflation...Under Donald J. Trump we once again will have that rip-roaring economy that lifts up all Americans."
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott: “If you didn’t believe in miracles before Saturday—you better be believing right now…Because on Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle—but an American lion got back up on his feet, and he roared!”
Florida Rep. Byron Donalds: "Donald Trump believes every parent deserves a choice and every child deserves a chance."
President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Sean O'Brien: "Never forget, American workers own this nation. We are not renters. We are not tenants. But the corporate elite treat us like squatters and that is a crime. We've got to fix it."
Moms For America Action Executive Director Vanessa Faura: “To my fellow Hispanic Americans and to ALL Americans: If you believe in faith, family, freedom, financial stability—join me in voting for Donald Trump this November!"
Model Amber Rose: "When you go to the store and buy food for your family, you're shocked. When you fill up your gas tank, you're pissed...Inflation is out of control and you know in your heart it was not like this under Donald Trump."
Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue: "Donald Trump loves this country, he loves us, and he knows how to build and create. He understands that lasting prosperity is built on the foundation of family, faith, work, and freedom."
Arizona mother Sara Workman: "The Democrats' open border policies have shattered my family...my husband fell victim to the drug epidemic. It tore our family apart and now I raise my son alone. But I know there is hope...with God in our hearts and Donald Trump back in the White House."
