CLEVELAND (AP) — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz isn't scheduled to appear publicly at the Republican National Convention until Wednesday evening. His presence has permeated the convention's opening days anyway.
A raucous confrontation over rules that could have kept hope of an unlikely Cruz nomination alive ended in defeat, prompting many in his state's delegation to chant angrily from the convention floor.
CLEVELAND (AP) — The 2016 Republican National Convention is now officially Donald Trump's convention.
To Trump's dismay, the first two days saw a rowdy racket on the floor over efforts to quash an anti-Trump rebellion, plus a hubbub over wife Melania Trump's speech that borrowed passages from Michelle Obama. Yet as the convention reached its halfway point, delegates casting votes in the roll call officially made Trump their presidential nominee.
