update

The theme for Monday, the first night of the Republican National Convention, was Make America Safe Again. Among the speakers were two Navy Seals and the mother of a man who died in the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. There were also a few Hollywood stars who took the stage. However, the speaker most people seemed to want to hear Monday night was Melania Trump, the wife of Republican candidate Donald Trump. Get the latest here.

And, now, to the strains of Queens' "We are the champions," Donald Trump walks onto the stage.

"We're gonna win so big, ladies and gentlemen," he says. "It is my great honor to present the next first lady of the United States ... Melania Trump."

"I am so proud of your choice for president of the United States, Donald J. Trump," Melania Trump tells the delegates.

Melania Trump tells the delegates and officials gathered that July 28, 2006, was the day she became a U.S. citizen and called it "the greatest privilege on planet Earth."
