Hey y'all, it's the NPR-Politics podcast here with the second of our daily episodes

from the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

And after a formal delegate count Tuesday, Donald Trump is officially the Republican Party's

nominee for presidents.

We will get into that and what else happens.

I'm Sam Sanders, campaign reporter.

I'm Susan Davis, I cover Congress and this week the convention.

How many have you been to?

This is number 17.

That's how you guys said Al-Flandon.
