More breaking news out of the Republican National Convention.
Former President Donald Trump has officially become the Republican presidential
nominee.
Let's get back to CNBC senior Washington correspondent Eamon Jabbers
live in Milwaukee Ammo.
Mike, it was the state of Florida that put Donald
J Trump over the top as the Republican nominee for
President of the United States.
The moment happening just a few moments ago.
His son, Eric Trump, was on the floor of the
convention in order to announce Florida's delegates.
Here's how that moment played out.
We hereby nominate every single one of them for the
greatest president that's ever lived,
and that's Donald J Trump.
Hereby declaring him the Republican nominee for President of the
United States of America.
And that's the official moment there.
Donald J Trump, no longer the presumptive nominee of the
Republican Party.
He is now officially the nominee of the Republican Party.
Obviously, that was without a doubt heading into this week.
The math on that, Mike,
he needed 1215 votes. To clinch he out of a
total of 2429,
Florida was chosen for symbolic reasons to be the state
that put him over the top.
So now Donald J Trump has a vice presidential running
mate and he's got the Republican nomination for president.
Mike, back over to you.
