Yahoo News | What To Expect On The First Night Of The Republican Convention: Nikki Haley, Tim Scott And Donald Trump

The Republican National Convention has already begun, with a morning session in which Donald Trump and Mike Pence will be renominated.

The heart of the proceedings, though, will come this evening, when we’ll finally get a look at how the Trump team manages a very different convention in the midst of the pandemic.

With a vastly scaled back presence in the host city of Charlotte, Trump plans to deliver his acceptance speech on Thursday from the south lawn of the White House. But he also plans to speak on each of the other three nights, albeit it is not exactly clear when and from where. Trump is visiting North Carolina on Monday, but he is due to return to Washington in the late afternoon.
