Who will be speaking at RNC 2024? See full list of speakers
The 2024 Republican National Convention commences Monday in Milwaukee just days after presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. Trump is still expected the address the delegates on Thursday, the last day of the convention.
"President Trump looks forward to joining you all in Milwaukee as we proceed with our convention to nominate him to serve as the 47th President of the United States," the RNC and the Trump campaign said in a joint statement issued Saturday. "As our party's nominee, President Trump will continue to share his vision to Make America Great Again."
On Saturday, the former president was injured after being shot in the right ear in an assassination attempt as a 20-year-old gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, opened fire on a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A spectator, Corey Comperatore, was killed and two others were wounded. The gunman was killed by Secret Service agents moments after shots rang out.
The historic moment of shocking political violence has put the country on edge and has morphed the convention from a routine political ritual into a landmark event.
Here's a list of all those who will be speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention, according to the organizers.

Nikki Haley added to speaker list
Former South Carolina governor - and Trump rival - Nikki Haley is now expected to speak at the convention. Haley, the runner-up to Trump in this year's Republican primaries, was originally not planning to speak to the convention, or even to attend it.
Details on Haley's presence at the convention are limited for now, but a person familiar with convention planning, told USA TODAY Sunday that Haley is now on the speaker list.
During the Republican primaries, Haley angered Trump by staying the race longer than he wanted. Haley, who served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, also criticized Trump frequently and was taunted by Trump in response.
