CLEVELAND — The Republican Party officially nominated Donald Trump for president on Tuesday when delegates from his home state of New York delivered 89 votes and the support of a majority of the convention.
Donald Trump, Jr., accompanied by siblings Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump, announced the delegate tally, 89 out of 95 available, to the convention chair from the floor of Quicken Loans Arena that was not quite full and lacked some of the energy and fanfare that might have been expected at such a celebratory and sympbolic moment of the presidential campaign.
