good morning. family first at the republican national convention. >> donald trump's children steal the show on night two hoping to put the controversy surrounding mrs. trump's speech to rest. many are feeling like the party has yet to unify. our team is live in cleveland with the latest from the floor. >> on the money trail at the republican national convention. many big businesses are sitting out the convention along with their wallets. many parties are empty, and those left footing the bill are wondering if this is the new norm for the gop. >> and who wore it best? republicans in cleveland are wearing their party pride on their sleeves and on their heads at times. the fashion is in full display at quicken loans arena. we have everything from the designer wear to the hats that spent the last four yearsn

closet and now we know why on this wednesday, july 20th. >> that jacket, though. >> from abc news, this is "world news now." >> we have our own -- >> kendis is taking fashion notes. >> i was. we have our crazy wild color scheme. it's going to work. good morning, everybody. happy wednesday. >> that's right. it's official. donald trump is now the republican nominee for president as the campaign heads into day three of the convention, and in keeping with the make america great again theme, today's theme is make america first again. >> last night was make america work again, but the main focus was about hillary clinton, speaker after speaker taking turns slamming clinton on everything from her e-mails to benghazi. of course, along with more calls to send her to prison. trump made another unorthodox appearance. and we got a better appearance of trump the dad aswo

children took the stage. marcy is with us this morning. >> reporter: after all that controversy surrounding melania trump's speech, his family tried to give a glimpse into the personal side of the man who is now officially his party's nominee. >> 172 votes. >> reporter: state by state -- >> 58 poubound votes. >> reporter: they cast their votes. >> it is an honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top. >> reporter: donald trump getting beyond the 1237 delegates needed. >> congratulations dad. we love it. >> reporter: trump on video on the second night of the republican national convention. >> today has been a very, very special day. watching my children put me over the top. >> reporter: but on stage, two of his children, tiffany trump. >> donald trump has never done anything

>> reporter: and donald trump junior. >> for my father, impossible is just the starting point. that's how he approaches business projects. that's how he approaches life. >> reporter: and with large crowds protesting outside, inside house speaker paul ryan and two of trump's former rivals focussed on bringing unity of the republican party. >> let's take our fight to our opponents with better ideas. let's get on the offensive and stay there. >> i'm proud to support donald trump. an extraordinary businessman, the right leader for a time such as this. >> it is time to come together and make sure that donald trump is the next president of the united states. >> reporter: and also here yesterday, indiana governor, mick pence, officially became the gop's nominee for vice president, and he will give one of the main speeches here later

back to you. >> marcy, let me get this. i guess trump wasn't officially supposed to be the nominee until later on. what happened? >> reporter: right. initially the gop said he wouldn't officially become the nominee on thursday when he had his speech. instead, after the vote they declared mike pence and donald trump are the party nominees. it doesn't make that much of a difference. it's a technicality that changes when the fund raising begins and general election. >> a lot of talk throughout the course of yesterday about melania's speech. any more of a response from the campaign? >> reporter: no. we still haven't heard directly about those accusations from either donald for melania trump. they haven't said anything. trump's campaign manager has been outspoken, denying the accusations that she plagiarized the speech. he said the themes were

really personal to melania trump and clearly also personal to michelle obama. he says this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. >> and trump is now banned from using songs from the rolling stones, adele, kneel young, twisted sister, rem, and as of the first night, queen. what's he going to do thursday night? >> reporter: yeah. i don't know. he's going to have to just hum to himself. i don't know. as for the queen song, it's not official that he's not going to be able to use that song. there was some controversy, though, because they played "we are the champions", and then queen, the group that's representing queen, put out a message saying they're frustrated by the repeated unauthorized use of the song after previous requests to desist which has obviously been ignored by trump and his company. it says queen does not want to be associated in any way with mainstream o

but the rnc communication director tweeted that the gop convention actually paid to license the song specifically for use here in this arena, so -- >> the plot thickens. >> reporter: you might still hear the song. >> and not the first time the presidential candidate has dealt with it. i feel like we deal with this almost every year. >> we'll with b be checking in with marcy throughout the morning. >> a governor of ohio, john kasich, staying away from the rnc, but yesterday he came pretty close. >> kasich held a reception at the rock and roll hall of fame a mile away from the convention. he thanked nearly 2,000 ohio republicans for their support, and he said he left the race because he felt if he had gone forward, he would have had to tell people things he doesn't believe are true. >> concerning words from another top republican who shi

from donald trump, george w. bush reportedly told former aids he's worried he could be the last republican president. according to politico he made the comment this past april. that's when the primary was down to trump and cruz. and some convention speakers are on thing not to mention trump by name, suggesting they may be lukewarm about his candidacy. >> but virtually everyone is on the same page when it comes to blasting hillary clinton. let's get more now from rick kline. good morning. >> reporter: a trump family affair, night to of the republican national convention in cleveland. tiffany trump and donald trump junior giving well received speeches about their dad. this campaign is in search of unity in terms of people being angry. some delegates had the

crossed. and energy, there is not an emotional core yet -- not a lot of glitz and glamour we expect around donald trump. that's his challenge. the only time this convention got into it is when they found new ways to insult hillary clinton or find new phrases to describe the anger they feel. even as former rivals gave testimony to donald trump, this is a convention in search of an identity and major message. >> all right. our thanks to rick there at the quicken loans arena in cleveland. day three of the convention has a theme we were talking about. playoff make america great again -- >> today they're talking about make america first again. speakers will include trump's raini running meat, mike pence, ted cruz, and marco rubio. >> don't miss our special reports at 10 p.m. eastern time tonight. you can also catch live stream

brian ross on the money trail. >> reporter: it's costing more than $60 million just to put on the convention. from the opening fireworks to the 125,000 balloons overhead. waiting to be dropped on the last night. but even as the delegates gathered, the republican party was scraping to come up with the cash to pay for it all. major corporations reportedly sitting it out or backing out. >> some gave reasons. some did not. some that gave talked about the publicity around just this whole election process. >> reporter: it's the trump factor. fewer ceos, lobbyists and billionaires arriving in their private jets. big parties half empty. despite the best efforts of cleveland's bartenders and the top chefs. and the big event for the senators at the rock and roll hall of

19 of the senators never made it to cleveland for the convention. where all the missing republican senators? 19 didn't show up. >> i think the most important ones are here. so thank you. i'm glad you're here. >> reporter: and even when top republicans do show up, as at this party sponsored by billionaire donors and consultants, the name trump is barely mentioned. republican party chairman mentioned the candidate's name only once in his welcoming remarks. outside over cigars and cocktails, republicans prepared for a convention and election unlike any they'd seen before. >> those dance moves are worth something. so the republican cleveland committee, the host committee, they were trying to raise some $64 million for the campaign, but the local county only contributed about $15 million
