The Republican National Convention begins its second day Tuesday with the nomination of Donald Trump as president and the evening’s speakers focused on the economy.
Speaking on the theme of “Make America Work Again” will be two of Trump’s children, Republican leaders from the House of Representatives and the Senate and two of Trump’s former presidential rivals.
The protest crowds were smaller than expected on the first day of the convention, but they are expected to grow with each day as more people and organizations make their way to Cleveland. Only one woman was arrested Monday on charges involving an outstanding warrant.
At the 5:30 p.m. session, a roll call vote for Trump is planned. Will there be any theatrics like the raucous floor battle Monday?
The evening session includes speeches from:
▪ Dana White, president of Ultimate Fighting Championship.
▪ Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
▪ U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
▪ Chris Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association for Legislative Action.
▪ Natalie Gulbis, a professional golfer playing on the U.S.-based LPGA tour.
▪ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
▪ House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
▪ Chris Christie, New Jersey governor and failed 2016 presidential candidate.
▪ Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter from his second marriage, to Marla Maples.
▪ Donald Trump Jr., the first child of Trump and Ivana Trump, his first wife.
▪ Dr. Ben Carson, neurosurgeon and failed 2016 presidential candidate.
