Watch Rep. Ronny Jackson's speech at the Republican National Convention

U.S. Rep Ronny Jackson (TX-13) took the podium at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Wednesday to say that former president Donald Trump is the only man suited to be president and said there is too much at stake for Joe Biden to be be reelected.

Jackson is the U.S. representative for Texas's 13th congressional district and a former Navy officer. He served as the physician to the president from 2013 to 2018 under presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. In 2019, Trump appointed Jackson to a newly-created position, making him chief medical advisor to the president, a position later succeeded by Anthony Fauci.

Jackson serves on the House Agriculture Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Intelligence Committee, and the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. Jackson stated that his nephew was injured in the recent assassination attempt on Former President Donald Trump.

In 2021, the Navy retroactively demoted Jackson to captain after an investigation by the Defense Department inspector general found he had engaged in inappropriate behavior as an admiral.

The Republican National Convention is in Milwaukee through Thursday where former President Donald Trump on Thursday will formally accept the party’s nomination for the 2024 Election.
