The Republican National Convention is coming. Here's how to watch it
The Republican National Convention kicks off this week, with delegates and officials descending on Wisconsin to formally nominate former President Donald Trump as the GOP nominee
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Republican National Convention kicks off this week, with delegates and officials descending on Wisconsin amid the tumult that follows a Saturday attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump as he prepares to become the GOP's official nominee.
The quadrennial event in one of this cycle’s key battleground states takes place not only as Trump leads a party in lockstep behind him, but as Democrats roil over President Joe Biden’s viability and if they should replace him as their nominee.
It's also happening as federal officials probe how a gunman was able to open fire from a rooftop near a Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania, killing a bystander and critically wounding two others.
There will be speeches from Trump, his still-unknown running mate, some of those who ran against him and a number of others both rallying support for their nominee and arguing against the Democrats' case for the presidency.
