The Republican convention aims to shift focus from a pandemic and economic collapse critique of Trump toward a clear choice between futures. Speakers will mix everyday Americans, White House and cable commentators, with Trump to appear nightly in the 10 pm slot. The four day event titled Honoring the American Story plans to highlight silent majority supporters and conservative media figures while avoiding a broad cross party lineup.
