4 things to watch for on Night 1 of the Republican National Convention. - spettypi
While much of the convention messaging is expected to focus on Trump’s handling of the economy, crime, and immigration, the coronavirus that ended years of economic growth will be an unavoidable topic — and it's unclear how Republicans will tackle that throughout the four-day convention.
While not part of the convention program, Trump will hold a meeting at the White House on Wednesday with health care workers to discuss the pandemic. The coronavirus isn't expected to be a major part of Trump's convention remarks this week, though it will be addressed throughout the convention, said a Republican official.“I’d have doctors and nurses thank the president for getting them the PPE,” he said.
Some of the speakers, like Vice President Mike Pence, will make their remarks live before an audience and Trump will have a crowd gathered on the White House South Lawn for his remarks Thursday, unlike Biden who spoke to a room of mostly reporters and aides. The Republican convention will also go longer and have more speakers.
“Anyone would be lying if they said it wasn’t a challenge to go from Charlotte to Jacksonville to no Jacksonville,” said the official, calling it “an incredible feat” under normal circumstances to rework a convention in a month's time.Democrats devoted large chunks of their convention to trying to appeal to nervous Republican voters, with former Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former George W. Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell making the case for Biden.
