In the final night of the RNC in Cleveland, Donald Trump officially accepted the GOP presidential nomination. The convention ended with a fiery and forceful speech from Trump who argued that he is the "law and order" candidate.
The four-day event ended in balloons, but it wasn't without controversy as Ted Cruz, the former Republican US presidential candidate refused to endorse Trump upending the GOP convention on Wednesday.
And while it's official, Donald Trump is now the Republican nominee for US president, the party has evidently not come together behind his campaign.
On the Cleveland streets outside the Republican National Convention, protesters and activists of all stripes continued their efforts, trying to show the divisiveness of the party's new nominee.
Next up in US presidential politics, the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. For now, here are glimpses inside and outside the convention.
