On Wednesday afternoon, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump flew into Cleveland, holding a brief news conference with Mike Pence, who is to accept the party vice presidential nomination tonight.
On the scene:
Skirmishes among opposing protest groups broke out over the burning of a U.S. flag near the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Wednesday. Police used pepper spray to push the protesters apart. Several people were detained, local media reported.
Protests have been held every day since the convention started on Monday, but Wednesday’s skirmishes were the most chaotic.
