Trump Delivers Longest Televised Acceptance Speech in History at 76 Minutes

Jul 19, 2024, 03:57 AM

Former President Donald Trump is delivering the longest televised acceptance speech in history at the Republican National Convention. Initially scheduled for 40 minutes, the speech has extended to 76 minutes and counting, making it the longest nomination acceptance speech of either party in the modern era. Trump’s speech has deviated from its structured opener, with a monologue style and ad-libbing, overshadowing key topics such as the assassination attempt. Observers note that the speech lacks new ideas or messages compared to his previous campaigns.
