Republicans lean into Trump's border message during a convention night focused on immigration - Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : One of the delegates in the crowd could be seen with a folded white piece of paper over his ear -- an apparent tribute to the bandage Trump wore when he entered the hall Monday to a roaring crowd.
48% : Trump entered a few minutes after his newly chosen running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
37% : Trump, who has long decried rivals with harsh language and talked about prosecuting opponents if he wins a second term, seemed poised to deliver a more toned-down speech.
31% : Vance is slated to speak Wednesday and Trump will speak Thursday.
28% : One rival turned staunch supporter was Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who ran against Trump in a bitter primary in 2016 and later was booed when he appeared onstage at that year's convention, urging delegates "vote your conscience" instead of endorsing the nominee.
27% : They include the family of Rachel Morin, a Maryland woman whom prosecutors say was killed and raped by a fugitive from El Salvador and whose story has been frequently highlighted by Trump on the campaign trail.
27% : At rallies and other campaign events, Trump has pointed to examples of migrants who committed heinous crimes and has blamed migration for the trafficking of drugs like fentanyl, even though federal data suggests many people smuggling fentanyl across the border are U.S. citizens.
22% : Pennsylvania Republican Party Chairman Lawrence Tabas said he hoped the assassination attempt on Trump would reset the tone nationally, beginning with Trump's scheduled remarks Thursday.
