Donald Trump is expected to have put a more personal touch on his upcoming speech at the Republicans' convention, where he will be officially nominated as presidential candidate.
After surviving the assassination attempt over the weekend, Trump is considered to have full control over his party and an increasingly clear lead over rival Joe Biden.
Trump's speech during the night to Friday Swedish time concludes the Republicans' four-day party convention in Milwaukee.
The shooting at Sunday's campaign meeting in Pennsylvania is dominating both the convention and the American political debate. Trump has appeared with a white bandage on his injured ear and participants at the convention have repeatedly chanted "fight, fight, fight!" – the words Trump exclaimed when he got up after the assassin was shot dead by the Secret Service.
Some of the convention visitors have worn their own ear bandages to pay tribute to the presidential candidate.
The former president has said that the shooting has led him to make changes to his speech, from one dominated by attacks on Biden to one that focuses more on uniting the country.
He is, however, expected to still want to provide a clear contrast to the Democrats' policy, according to sources for the news agency AP. The speech is also expected to be more personal than usual, according to the sources.
Trump's wife, Melania, who has kept a low profile for some time, is expected to appear during the convention's final day in connection with her husband's speech.
