Trump has concluded his keynote speech, with his family joining him on stage.
“America’s future will be bigger, better, bolder, brighter, happier, stronger, freer, greater and more united than ever before,” he said. “And quite simply put we will very quickly make America great again.”

Trump’s acceptance speech lasted 1 hour and 33 minutes. That makes it the longest presidential nomination acceptance speech in recorded history. The previous record was 1 hour 15 minutes, also set by Trump in 2016.

An adviser to President Joe Biden further criticized Trump’s speech.
“He’s playing the greatest hits from 2016,” the adviser told ABC News. “Trump has not changed, he has not moderated, he has gotten worse, and he is making no appeal to moderates.”
