Can Republicans sell voters on Trump's record in office?

Republican voter Randi Reed says she sees more enthusiasm for Trump than in 2016

President Donald Trump has officially become the Republican presidential nominee during his party's national convention, being held in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Mr Trump, who had promised to focus the convention on a more positive and upbeat vision for the country, opened his speech by attacking Democrats for their push to expand access to mail-in ballots during the ongoing pandemic.

He warned, without giving evidence, that Democrats planned to rig the contest through the fraudulent use of postal voting.

Independent experts say that voter fraud is quite rare in the United States. Polls currently indicate Mr Trump trailing behind his Democratic rival Joe Biden.

Randi Reed is a Donald Trump supporter, who stood as a Republican candidate in her home state Nevada during this year's congressional elections. Is she still as enthusiastic about Mr Trump as the first time she voted for him in 2016?
