Reality television star and model Amber Rose took the stage at the 2024 Republican National Convention on Monday.
During her speech, Rose focused on her role as a mother and a converted Trump supporter.
This year, Rose positioned herself as an avid supporter of former president Donald Trump, who is expected to accept the party’s nomination for the upcoming election at the convention this week.
“Trump 2024,” she wrote in an Instagram post in May, which included a photo of her next to Trump and Melania. She was met with pushback as many pointed out that she spoke out against Trump during his first run for the White House in 2016.
Despite this, she has continuously defended herself and doubled down on her endorsement online. Photos show her rocking the red “Make America Great Again” cap and a chunky gold Trump necklace. Earlier this month, she announced that she would appear at the convention.
“It’s true! I’m speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee #MAGA,” Rose posted on X.
