To Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the great and the good of the Republican elite have arrived to crown Donald Trump as their presidential candidate once again. After the 2020 convention was hit by Covid, this year’s political jamboree is a full-blown Trump-fest. Hot topics of conversation include his pick of JD Vance for his VP nominee and the platform on which the party will be standing later this year.

Wearing their best concoctions of red, white and blue, thousands of Republican delegates have been striding around the Fiserv Forum to hear speeches, purchase merchandise and catch up with comrades, ahead of November’s presidential rematch between ‘the Donald’ and the man he calls ‘Sleepy’ Joe Biden. So from the picket line to the buffet line, here is Mr Steerpike’s guide to the Republican National Convention 2024 in pictures…
