Washington — As the GOP prepares to make its case for President Trump’s reelection, the Trump campaign unveiled Sunday its list of speakers who will be addressing supporters across the four-day event.
The Republican National Convention is set to kick off Monday, August 24, and will feature four nights of speakers ranging from the president’s most vocal supporters on Capitol Hill to members of his family to Americans who the Trump campaign says have written “the great American story.”
Among those set to appear are Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who pointed guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their St. Louis mansion in late June, and Nicholas Sandmann, who sued various news outlets after a video of him and Native American activist Nathan Phillips on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial went viral last year. Also on the agenda are Rudy Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s personal attorney, Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA.
The convention, themed “Honoring the Great American Story,” will close Thursday with Mr. Trump delivering a speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination from the White House.
