Who's speaking at RNC convention 2024 tonight in Milwaukee? Trump tops schedule of convention speakers.
On Thursday night, attendees of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee will finally hear from former President Donald Trump, who is set to accept his party's nomination to run against President Joe Biden in November.
Trump's speech is a highly anticipated one, particularly following an attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania last weekend. Allies, including U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, say they hope his remarks will be a message of unity.
But there'll be other speeches to listen to first, of course. Thursday's theme is "Make America Great Once Again," not far off from Trump's now ubiquitously known slogan that he ran his successful presidential campaign on in 2016. The night's lineup includes prominent Trump supporters, so-called "everyday Americans" who have been sharing stories throughout the convention, and — interestingly — wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, as well as the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
