New York, Aug. 26: US President Donald Trump’s family took centrestag­e at the Republican Convention, passionate­ly rallying behind him and highlighti­ng his political, economic and foreign achievemen­ts as they urged American voters to re-elect him for a second term.

So far, first lady Melania Trump, president’s sons Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump and daughter Tiffany Trump have addressed the Republican National Convention. His another daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump, 38, will speak on Thursday, the last day of the convention.

President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will be challenged by the Democratic Party’s presidenti­al nominee Joe Biden and his Indian-American running mate Senator Kamala Harris.

“Donald is a husband who supports me in all that I do. He has built administra­tion with an unpreceden­ted number of women in leadership roles and has fostered an environmen­t where the American people are always the priority. He welcomes different points of view and encourage thinking outside of the box.

“I know I speak for my husband and the family when I say we are so grateful that you have trusted him to be your president and we will be honoured to serve this incredible country for four more years,” the First Lady said in her

address to the Convention Tuesday from the Rose Garden on Tuesday.

Melania, 50, said that Americans need Trump to be their president and commander-in-chief for four more years. “He’s what is best for our country. We all know Donald Trump makes no secrets about how he feels about things. Total honesty is what we as citizens deserve from our President.

Whether you like it or not, you always know what he’s thinking, and that is because he’s an authentic person who loves this country and its people, and wants to continue to make it better,” she said.

Addressing the Convention’s first night on Monday, Donald Trump Jr, 42, said Trump’s America is “a land of opportunit­y, a place of promise.”

“I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family that could afford the best schools and the finest universiti­es, but a great education cannot be the exclusive right of the rich and powerful. It must be accessible to all. And that’s why my dad is pro school choice. That’s why he’s called education access the civil rights issue, not just of our time, but of all time,” he said.
