"The chair declares that the 2024 national convention stands in recess until tomorrow at 5 p.m.," RNC chair Michael Whatley announced before gaveling out.

The statement was preceded by a standing ovation for the party's presidential and vice presidential picks: Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.

The Teamsters president got off a good one riffing on a line that nearly brought him and Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) to fisticuffs last year.

“Remember, elites have no party, elites have no nation," O'Brien said, before calling on politicians to "stand their butts up" for the American worker.

"Their loyalty is to the balance sheet and to the stock price at the expense of the American worker,” he said.

International Brotherhood of Teamsters President Sean O'Brien declared that his union was "not beholden to anyone or to any party" in a historic first address before the Republican National Convention.

“It’s an honor to be the first teamster in our 121-year history to address the Republican National Convention," O'Brien said, before adding. "President Trump had the backbone to open the doors to this Republican convention — and that's unprecedented."

"President Trump is a candidate who is not afraid of hearing from new, loud and often-critical voices," he went on. "In light of what happened to him on Saturday, he has proven to be one tough S-O-B!"

Model Amber Rose spoke at the Republican National Convention on Monday, shortly after a bandaged Donald Trump arrived following his assassination attempt just days before

"When you cut through the lies you realize the truth," Rose said. "American families were better when Donald Trump was president."

Rose added her father, a military veteran, got her to support the former commander in chief.

MILWAUKEE -- Melania, Ivanka and Barron Trump were not seen on the RNC convention floor Monday night, even as former President Donald Trump entered on stage.

The former first lady has been missing from the campaign trial for the 2024 cycle.

Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., as well as daughter Tiffany Trump were in attendance.

MILWAUKEE — Sen. Marsha Blackburn warned the RNC audience of the tax and regulatory ramifications of giving President Biden another term in office.

“Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, people are also crushed by more regulations than any time since Jimmy Carter," the Tennessee senator said. "Their regulations aren’t just burdensome, either — they often include racist DEI requirements. Many small businesses are now going bankrupt, while others are just disgusted."

“You know who will slash red tape and return this country to economic greatness?” she asked. “DONALD TRUMP!”

MILWAUKEE -- Donald Trump appeared in the convention center with a large, obvious white bandage on his ear.

Trump was shot in the upper ear on Saturday by a gunman, nearly missing his head.

The audience in response shouted, "Fight, fight, fight!" and pumped their fists in the air – just as Trump did immediately after he was shot.

MILWAUKEE -- Donald Trump walked onto the floor of the RNC convention, marking the first time he's been seen at a large event after the assassination attempt on Saturday.

He was greeted with cheers from delegates who had voted him in as the official GOP nominee just hours earlier.

Lee Greenwood belted "God Bless the USA" while Trump walked on the floor.

The commander in chief later shook hands with his sons, Tucker Carlson and his VP pick, JD Vance.

MILWAUKEE -- Donald Trump appeared in a pre-recorded video at the RNC praising early voting and mail-in voting for November.

He said Republicans have to vote in any way they can to ensure they "swamp" the Democrats in 2024.

"We will make sure your ballot is secured and your vote is secured," the former president said.

The move marks a difference from his previous criticism of mail-in ballots, which Democrats used heavily in the 2020 election during the COVID pandemic.

Sen. JD Vance revealed Monday that former President Donald Trump asked to speak with his 7-year-old son when he called to tell the Ohio Republican that he had been tapped to be his running mate. 

Vance (R-Ohio) told Fox News host Sean Hannity that his son was making noise in the background during the call, and that he didn’t know if Trump was going to be delivering “good or bad” news. 

“The guy that just got shot at takes the time to talk to my 7-year-old, it’s a moment i’ll never forget,” Vance said. 

The VP nominee said that his views about the former president back in 2016 were wrong, referring to when he called Trump “America’s Hitler”

“I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016,” Vance admitted, adding that “President Trump changed my mind.”

“We saw the results of the Trump presidency,” the Ohio Republican argued, claiming that he was “not really” political back then.

Freshman Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) told GOP delegates that a second Trump term in the Oval Office would lead to a financial flourish

"If there was ever a time to come together in our nation — that time is now," Donalds said in his remarks, urging unity before noting the added perks.

"With Trump, our economy will boom again," he predicted. "You will have more money in your pocket again."

The tagline of Monday's sessions has been "Make America Wealthy Again," which Donalds and fellow GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) have hit on.

MILWAUKEE-- Michigan RNC Chair Pete Hoekstra told The Post he thought Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) was a great choice for the Midwest.

"We've been doing pretty well in Michigan, to begin with... You know there's a rivalry between Michigan and Ohio [in football]. But regardless of that -- plus the fact that it's not much of a rivalry anymore -- we're beating Ohio," Hoekstra teased.

"JD is going to be a good help. It's great to have somebody from the Midwest. Understands the automobile industry, understands what's happening with the energy, understands the Great Lakes, understands our issues."
