Revision as of 21:33, 26 December 2007
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 withdrawal 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David Gamble faced many candidates who, like him, had already withdrawn from the race, and many others who had not run in the primary.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 T Justice, Aida Alvera, Kyle Van Horn, Caden Windsor and Joshua Long were still carrying some delegates after the ninth ballot.

Merrilin's Withdrawal
Presumptive Republican nominee Andrew Merrilin surprised most at the end of the first day of the convention when he announced, on stage, that he was declining his nomination for Republican nominee and was releasing his delegates. This was seen to be a result of events that were triggered by a speech to the Democratic convention by Samuel Clay in which he endorsed Democratic nominee Whitney Mason. It caused an opening up on tensions within the party's two factions, one led by President Warren and another by Senator Keiko Kagura.
This ultimately led to an open nomination process in which former primary candidate David Gamble was elected as the Republican nominee after 9 ballots without any serious challenger on the floor. It was also seen as another set back for a Presidential race where the odds seemed stacked up against the Republicans.
