WATCH: Trump gets emotional as he enters the RNC following assassination attempt

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – With a large white bandage on his right ear following the assassination attempt against him, former President Donald Trump entered the RNC floor where delegates stood and cheered, many holding up signs or their phones to take photos and video.

He appeared to get emotional.

He was heralded by musician Lee Greenwood, who sang his signature song, “God Bless the USA.”“Is there any doubt who’s going to be the next president of the United States? Prayer works,” Greenwood said when the former president took the stage.
