Video: Ohio ready for Trump and Republican Convention

The US Republican Convention is about to get underway in Ohio, with presidential nominee Donald Trump expected to be formally named as the party's election candidate.

Mr Trump has already chosen his running mate in Indiana governor and radio talkshow host Mike Pence.

He also already has the required delegates to back him for his shot at the presidency, so the convention is somewhat just a formality.

Newshub political editor Patrick Gower is in Cleveland for the event, where even before the show begins, he's already run into some star power, meeting US comedian and The Late Show host Stephen Colbert.
