MILWAUKEE — Former President Trump’s campaign is contrasting a “united” Republican Party at the Republican National Convention with the recent turmoil surrounding President Biden’s reelection.

Politically, Biden has resisted growing calls to end his campaign from Democratic lawmakers who are deeply concerned that Democrats could lose not only the White House but both houses of Congress in the fall elections.
