“America is better than Donald Trump”, Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, various news outlets reported a leak of Trump’s nomination speech. Referring to comments made by Clinton’s chief rival in the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders, Trump charged, “Her bad instincts and her bad judgment are what caused numerous disasters unfolding today”.
“I don’t think he speaks for most Americans, do you?”

“I am your voice”, Trump said.
He had been introduced by his eldest daughter Ivanka, who spoke about his work with women and minorities in a bid to reach out to groups Mr Trump has struggled to win over.

“I love the media”, Trump joked. Even if you disagree, like I do, it was the most convincing defense of Trump’s readiness and ability to perform the job.
