In the dark and in silence, the Republican convention stopped to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The tribute took place in Dallas, on the night before the day that would mark 25 years since the attacks that killed approximately three thousand people in the United States.
During the pause, a video was shown with a retrospective of the terrorist attack, displaying images of that tragic morning. The moment served to remember the victims and the impact that the events had on the country.
The convention also took the opportunity to honor the first responders who acted promptly and dedicatedly after the attacks, recognizing the fundamental role they played in the rescue and assistance of victims.
This solemn moment marked a pause in the political programming of the convention, which was taking place during the presidential election race in the United States, demonstrating the symbolic importance that this date continues to have for the country.
