[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] The U.S. Republican Party has officially nominated President Donald Trump as its candidate for the 46th U.S. presidential election. Vice President Mike Pence was also confirmed as Trump's running mate. The presidential race with Democratic candidate Joe Biden and vice-presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris has also been formalized.

On the 24th (local time), the Republican Party officially nominated President Trump as the presidential candidate for the election to be held on November 3 at the Charlotte Convention Center in North Carolina on the first day of the party convention. During the nomination process, President Trump made a surprise appearance at the convention hall, calling this election "the most important election in our country's history" and urging support, saying we must win. President Trump is scheduled to conclude his campaign kickoff with an acceptance speech in the White House garden on the 27th.

This election holds significant meaning as it will determine the next four years of the United States. In particular, it will decide whether President Trump succeeds in his re-election bid to continue pushing "America First" policies, or whether Biden, who secured the nomination after three attempts, will achieve a regime change and work to "restore America's leadership." The two candidates also represent opposing stances in foreign policy, with isolationism (Trump) and multilateralism (Biden), making the election outcome highly impactful not only for the U.S. but for the entire world.

With the official start of the general election competition, the two candidates are expected to engage in a fierce battle without any concessions for the remaining 71 days until election day. Although President Trump is trailing Biden in various polls, he plans to use the convention as a turning point.

The U.S. presidential election will be held simultaneously in all 50 states and Washington D.C. on November 3.
