The second night of the 2024 Republican National Convention saw House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and House Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana take the stage to make a compelling case for another term for Donald Trump. Scalise, a survivor of an assassination attempt and cancer, wasted no time in pointing out the disastrous financial decisions made by the Biden administration, especially in the energy sector. He highlighted the contrast between Biden’s approval of foreign energy projects and the termination of American energy initiatives, resulting in lost jobs and weakened energy dominance.
Scalise also promised a Republican majority with Trump back in the White House would prioritize permanent Trump tax cuts, border security including the border wall, voter integrity, school choice, and military strengthening. He shared a personal anecdote about Trump’s compassion during Scalise’s own health crisis, showcasing the President’s character under pressure. Following Scalise, Speaker Johnson emphasized the importance of conducting an investigation into the attempted assassination of Trump, underlining the need for truth and accountability.
At the 2024 RNC, Louisiana delegates pushed for Trump's re-election, citing Biden's financial mismanagement. They promised to bring back energy projects and protect American jobs.
