The RNC will be a far more scaled-back affair than initially planned.
Plans for the celebration part of the convention -- including Trump's acceptance speech -- were far from settled just days before the event was set to begin.
The roll call, historically a lengthy process in which each state in alphabetical order announces how many delegates will be delivered to each candidate based on primary results, will formally nominate Trump. The president must secure 1,276 delegates to be put over the top. Trump was awarded all but one delegate during the primary season, with that one being allocated to his former challenger, ex-Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, according to an ABC News analysis.
The details on Monday's official business and health protocols for Monday were first reported by The New York Times. Medical professionals are advising on COVID-related protocols for live events, organizers said, but provided no further details.In the lead up to Trump's address, Republicans have plans for a mix of speakers, including GOP leaders such as Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Núñez.
The list for guest speakers also includes Sean Parnell, an Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient who served on the Afghan-Pakistan border. Parnell is running as a Republican candidate for the U.S. House in Pennsylvania's 17th District against incumbent Rep. Conor Lamb. "I am honored to share my story at the President's convention," Johnson said in a statement to ABC News."For those who will be listening, I hope my story reminds us all that true justice must honor and provide mercy for those caught up in the system who deserve a chance at redemption, just like the President provided for me."captured and killed by ISIS
