Next week's Republican National Convention will be a four-day party of President Donald Trump, featuring a younger generation who may be hoping for a shot at the White House in 2024, as well as a St. Louis few who brandished firearms at anti-racism protesters.
Here is a glance at speakers featured in a mixture of live and virtual programming starting on Monday.
The theme of the nominating convention will be"Honoring the Great American Story", and will culminate in a dwell endorsement address from Trump on Thursday night on the South Lawn of the White House.
The White House grounds will also be used on Tuesday night, when First Lady Melania Trump and Trump's adult kids will talk from the Rose Garden.
Trump will be the central focus and will make appearances on most days, based on campaign resources, such as one occasion when he'll honor doctors, nurses and other employees on the front line of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vice President Mike Pence is going to be the primary speaker on Wednesday, bringing his remarks from Baltimore's Fort McHenry, made famous in the War of 1812 when it was successfully defended against an attack from the British navy, inspiring the poem that became the lyrics for The Star-Spangled Banner.
Some government ethics specialists have expressed concern over the use of federal properties as stages for partisan political speeches, but a law forbidding the use of national funds for campaign appearances excludes the president and vice president. Back in 1940, Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted his party's nomination in the White House through radio.
On Monday, the convention theme are the"Land of Promise," Tuesday's are the"Land of Opportunity," Wednesday will focus on the"Land of Heroes" and events culminate at the"Land of Greatness" on Thursday.
Trump continues to be criticized because of his response to the coronavirus pandemic, that has killed over 170,000 Americans and triggered a serious economic recession, as well as his reaction to nationwide protests over racial injustice and police brutality against Black Americans.
To cancel those criticisms, the conference will also feature regular Americans who will testify that Trump has changed their lives in positive ways, according to a member of Trump's effort.
They will also sound the alarm over the hazards of a victory for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
One of these will be Mark and Patricia McCloskey, a St. Louis few who brandished their guns in the front of Dark Lives Issue protesters who marched through their gated neighborhood in July. They were charged with felony weapons offenses, which Trump has known as a"disgrace." Their attorney, Joel Schwartz, stated their appearance has been confirmed by Republican organizers.
Other citizen speakers will include police Sergeant Ann Dorn, whose husband, retired police captain David Dorn, has been killed during violent protests in St. Louis at June; Tanya Weinreis, who'll state her Montana coffee store and employees' livelihoods were rescued by financing from the federal coronavirus relief Paycheck Protection Program, and the parents of Kayla Mueller, a humanitarian worker murdered by Islamic State. He's an advocate for increased school safety measures, such as armed guards.
The convention will also feature Republicans considered potential 2024 presidential hopefuls.
