The 2016 Republican National Convention, a presidential nominating convention of the Republican Party, took place from July 26 to July 29, 2016 at Jacksonville, Florida. The convention was one of a series of historic quadrennial meetings of the Republica Party with a primary focus on officially nominating a candidate for President and adopting a party platform. President Elizabeth Warren served as Chairman.
Defining moments of the 2016 Democratic National Convention included the withdraw of the primary winner, Andrew Merrilin, during the convention, and the the nomination of David Gamble as the candidate for President and John Dunn as the candidate for Vice President. The two faced the Democratic Party's ticket of Whitney Mason and Drew Brockmeier in the 2016 presidential election.
The convention marked the formal end of the active primary election season, and it made history for being the first party convention in which the primary winner declined nomination. All Merrilin's delegates were released, and the voting began.
David Gamble faced many candidates who, like him, had already withdrawn from the race, and many others who had not run in the primary. Vincent Halfhyde, Jason Gillikin, Valeria Smith, Felix Cavendish, Buford Justice, Aida Alvera, Kyle Van Horn, Caden Windsor and Joshua Long were still carrying some delegates after the ninth ballot.
