First lady Melania Trump will speak Tuesday, Vice President Pence on Wednesday and Trump on Thursday. ADRonna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, has said Trump will make appearances in the primetime lineup each night. A smaller gathering of party officials and delegates will meet at a convention center in Charlotte to renominate Trump, which will happen on Monday. The convention speakers are usually a mix of party luminaries, rising stars and non-politicians whose stories exemplify something the party wants to highlight. On Thursday night, Ivanka Trump will speak, raising legal concerns given she is also a White House adviser.
