The Republican National Convention is set to kick off on Monday, just days after Joe Biden accepted the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, and will run through Thursday.

A small number of Republican leaders will be physically present in Charlotte, N.C., on Monday, but most of the convention will be virtual.

Originally, all four days of the convention were set to take place in Charlotte. But President Trump moved the majority of the convention events to Jacksonville, Fla., in June after a dispute with North Carolina’s governor about safety protocols related to the coronavirus. Then in July, following a significant spike in cases in the Sunshine State, Trump canceled the Jacksonville events.

Trump will now accept the nomination from the South Lawn of the White House on Thursday, though he is also expected to take part in all four nights of the convention.

Additional speakers will appear from various locations. According to the Trump campaign, the central convention location will be the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C.

Schedule: Who’s speaking and when?
The main theme of the GOP convention is “Honoring the Great American Story.” Each night will feature remarks from political leaders as well as “everyday Americans whose stories are filled with hope and patriotism,” per the Trump campaign.

Monday, “Land of Promise”: During the day, a maximum of 336 delegateswill convene in Charlotte, conduct the roll-call vote and formally renominate Trump and Vice President Pence for the Republican Party’s presidential ticket.

Speakers on Monday include South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, former Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley and Donald Trump Jr.

I’m excited to hear Kim Klacik. I’ll be surprised if she doesn’t win her race in MD.

Hard to believe they can cram that many speakers into a two-hour window. Don’t forget Trump himself is to speak as well.

I guess we'll see numerous headlines and panel discussions on CNN, etc. about how a Democrat is speaking at the Republican convention and how Trump has picked up Dem support, right?
