After a truly dysfunctional first day, the Republican National Convention continues in Cleveland on Tuesday.
The RNC’s second day begins at 5:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and the theme: “Make America Work Again,” emphasizing trade, jobs, immigration, and economic policy.
After a roll call from the states’ delegations, day two will start with the convention officially nominating Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for president. After day one’s chaotic roll call, due to vociferous procedural demands from #NeverTrump Republicans, today’s procedure will be tense viewing.
The convention will then shift to about two dozen speeches from politicians, business people, and several more members of Donald Trump’s family. His kin’s speeches will be especially interesting considering Melania Trump’s first-night speech’s direct plagiarism from a 2008 Michelle Obama speech.
Three of Trump’s former Republican primary rivals will speak on Tuesday, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
