Despite the\u200d violence, the convention will proceed as Trump is nominated, and delegates vote on the party platform,\u2063 which has been\u200d significantly reduced in size to streamline messaging. One notable change is the GOP’s stance \u200bon abortion, with \u200cthe new platform opposing late-term abortion but not calling for a national ban<\/a>.
