As the Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications, Scavino sits in a public direction, but he rarely speaks in public.
Trump and Pence are expected to attend the roll call votes by the slim group of 336 RNC delegates who will formally nominate Trump and Pence as the Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates. Because North Carolina would not give permission for a large-scale event, Republicans decided not to hold the rest of their convention there.
Trump is expected to make brief remarks to delegates, but his formal acceptance speech will take place Thursday at a distance from the White House.
The White House announced Saturday that the president would go to Charlotte as part of a day-long series of events in North and South Carolina. The White House and reelection campaign have refused to divulge details of Trump’s visit since first reports of the stop appeared Friday.
An opinion from the White House only says that the president will arrive at 11:45 a.m., Monday in Charlotte.
Trump, a television producer at heart, hopes next week for a convention that looks far different from the all-digital event that Democrats have staged in recent days – including an emphasis on live programming and at least some audience that can respond to the multiple performances he plans.
The convention imposed by the president is expected to include moments designed to surprise both viewers and violations of Trump’s opponents. Details for the week remain fluid and some of the key elements were still being worked out between the White House, Republican National Committee and convention planners. Trump aides were reaching out to potential participants, including a long line of Americans whose personal stories they believe will resonate with voters.
Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller on Sunday told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Republicans will present an “optimistic and optimistic convention this week.”
Miller said the RNC will focus heavily on Trump’s performance over his first four years, outlining a second term vision for the administration, and promised “a complete change in perception that I believe the media is trying to tell me what a Trump supporter looks like, or who a Trump supporter is. “
The convention will have “breakout stars,” people who would not typically be considered Trump supporters, and “a great, uplifting message from the president,” Miller told NBC. He also said viewers could plan on hearing Trump “speak in different parts through each of the nights” at this week’s convention, but would not elaborate if that meant live comments, speeches or pre-recorded video segments.
Miller characterized last week’s Democratic National Convention as “a massive grievance party” that failed to present a clear vision for the future.
