Trump is scheduled to deliver the last speech of the convention’s fourth and final night from the White House in Washington, D.C. He addressed party delegates shortly after they nominated him for reelection on Monday morning and has made appearances at the convention in the days since.
“We have saved the best for last,” the convention’s president and CEO, Marcia Lee Kelly, said of Trump’s scheduled speech in a news release. “As we embark on the road to November, we remember with renewed hope and optimism that this land of greatness unites us, and together we will continue to write the great American story for four more years.”
Wednesday night’s convention concluded with a speech from Vice President Mike Pence, during which Pence formally accepted the party’s vice presidential nomination. Other speakers from the convention’s previous three nights included first lady Melania Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, members of the Trump and Pence families and several Congressional legislators.
Trump and the rest of the fourth day’s speakers will deliver their remarks as part of the day’s “Land of Greatness” theme to “honor America’s long history of greatness, how President Trump restored that greatness, and how he will keep it going despite Democrats’ attacks,” according to the Trump campaign.
Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, is expected to speak before her father on Thursday evening. Dan Scavino, who serves as an adviser to the president, and Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, will also deliver public remarks at the convention.
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes are expected to deliver speeches, as well. Also on the Trump campaign’s list of Thursday speakers are Franklin Graham, Ja’Ron Smith, Wade Mayfield, Stacia Brightmon, Dana White, Debbie Flood, Ann Dorn, Carl and Marsha Mueller, Patrick Lynch and Alice Johnson.
Several national networks are scheduled to cover the convention’s final night. MSNBC will begin its coverage at 7 p.m. ET, followed by CNN and PBS at 8 p.m. ET. C-SPAN will broadcast the speeches live and on its website starting at 8:30 p.m. ET, and four networks—ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News—will begin their coverage at 10 p.m. ET.
