Donald Trump's former rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, offered full-throated endorsements of his candidacy at the party's convention, in a display of unity days after he survived an assassination attempt.

Haley, who had described Trump as unfit for office during her campaign, urged her supporters to vote for him over Democratic nominee and incumbent Joe Biden "for the sake of our nation."
