Here’s the speaker lineup for the second night of the Republican National Convention
President Donald Trump‘s family will take center stage as Republicans aim to boost the president’s reelection bid Tuesday at the 2020 Republican National Convention.
Events on the second of four convention days will take place in the original site of Charlotte, North Carolina, and around the world after the coronavirus forced the GOP to cancel a traditional convention. On Monday night, many of the party’s chosen speakers showed a feverish devotion to Trump and his policies as he tries to beat Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in November.
