In 2016 and 2020, Trump was the underdog heading into fall and faced criticism from within his own party. This year, he will accept the Republican nomination with his party in lockstep behind him and Democrats in turmoil over President Joe Biden's viability.
BILL BARROWSpeakers at the 2024 RNC include Donald Trump Jr. and Kristi Noem, ABC News said. Melania Trump is expected to attend, sources said. The party platform was crafted in part by Proje
There will be the usual convention tasks throughout the four-day affair. Delegates, almost 2,400 of them, must approve a platform and formally designate the presidential ticket: Trump and his yet-to-be-named running mate. They'll hear from both national candidates and a slew of others rallying support for Trump and taking aim at Democrats.
Monday's theme is economics: "Make America Wealthy Once Again." Trump has outlined an agenda of sweeping tariffs and ramped-up production of oil and gas, even though it already hit a record under Biden. He argues that his plans to deport millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally will bring down inflation, which has fallen from higher levels earlier in Biden's presidency.
The takeaway for most observers, regardless of all the careful planning and choreography, will be what Trump himself says in his acceptance address. In 2016 in Cleveland, Trump offered a dark indictment of American life and insisted, "I alone can fix it." The populist, nationalistic pitch enraptured his backers but did not necessarily help him expand his appeal.
