President Donald Trump will formally accept his party’s nomination in a live speech on the fourth and final night of the Republican National Convention.
Other speakers scheduled for Thursday night include Trump’s daughter Ivanka, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White.
Trump is set to speak out in front of the White House to a large crowd of supporters – despite the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced both parties to scrap their plans for personal conventions for the most part and instead streamline their procedures.
More than 5.8 million Covid-19 cases and at least 180,000 deaths have been reported in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University. The devastating toll of the pandemic, and the Trump administration’s response to it, formed a central part of the Democrats’ convention last week, when Joe Biden officially accepted the Democratic nomination. The coronavirus crisis has played a relatively small role in the GOP convention.
In his speech, Trump will describe Biden’s agenda as “extreme” and set a tone for Democrats and independents to join the GOP.
