Republican convention showcases rising stars

WASHINGTON (AP) — A rising generation of Republican stars offered an optimistic view of President Donald Trump’s leadership but was undermined on the opening night of the GOP’s scaled-back convention by speakers issuing dark warn- ings about the country’s future and distorting the president’s record, particularly on the coro- navirus pandemic. As Trump faces pressure to expand his appeal beyond his loyal supporters, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the Senate’s sole Black Republican, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants, sought to cast the GOP as welcoming to Americans of color, despite the party’s over- whelmingly white leadership and voting base.
