What to watch at the Republican National Convention this week

After surviving an assassination attempt, Donald Trump will be at the Republican National Convention this week to accept his third consecutive GOP presidential nomination. The convention will take place under the shadow of one of the most shocking acts of political violence in modern American history. It’s unclear what effect the bloodshed will have on the convention, but Trump has promised that the show will go on. The convention will feature the delegate roll call and Trump’s acceptance speech, setting the tone for the presidential campaign and American politics. There are no major changes to the convention or its schedule, according to the Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman. The vice presidential pick is still scheduled to speak, but the identity of the pick remains a mystery. The shocking attempt on Trump’s life could impact the timeline for the pick. The convention will also address whether to focus on winning over moderate voters. The family, including Trump’s children and Melania Trump, will be in attendance and their words will carry meaning in the aftermath of the shooting. Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for the next Republican president, but whether it will be addressed at the convention remains to be seen.
