Donald Trump has received enough votes at the Republican National Convention (RNC) to become the party's official presidential nominee - days after surviving an assassination attempt, Sky News reports.
At the gathering in Milwaukee, the ex-president was confirmed as the Republican candidate ahead of the 5 November election.
Meanwhile, protests against him were held outside the venue.
It comes after Mr Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday when a gunman, named by authorities as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, shot at him during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
Mr Trump, who was struck on the ear in the attack, has been the presumptive nominee for months, having easily clinched a majority of convention delegates earlier in the year - brushing aside rivals like South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
However, he didn't officially become the party's standard-bearer until Monday's roll call, where delegates voted for him.
The leader of each state took turns to announce their result, formally putting Mr Trump back in to battle the Democrat candidate - likely to be incumbent Joe Biden - for control of the White House later this year.
The vast majority of the delegates were already bound to support Mr Trump, with at least 2,243 of the around 2,400, known to be supporting him before the four-day RNC began on Monday.
