MILWAUKEE—The Republican National Convention concluded July 18 with a lengthy address by a subdued and mostly soft-spoken former President Donald Trump, who accepted his party’s nomination for the presidency and laid out a political vision to unite the country around national security and prosperity.

The four-day convention began with the nomination of the former president on its first day, an unusual order of business that left the remainder of the week devoted to conveying the party’s vision and redefining the often brash former president as a devoted family man and compassionate friend.
