All eyes will be on First Lady Melania Trump as she headlines Night 2 of the 2020 Republican National Convention.
Four years ago, the wife of then-candidate Donald Trump closed out Night 1 of the RNC with remarks that were partly cribbed from the speech that Michelle Obama delivered at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. The following day, Tony Award winner Laura Benanti went viral when she made her first appearance as Melania on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and offered a written apology with even more borrowed lines.
FLOTUS is among 15 of President Trump’s most vocal crusaders who are scheduled to address the nation on Tuesday night. The list also includes her stepchildren, Eric and Tiffany Trump, as well as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.
As previously reported, President Trump will appear nightly to “present his optimistic vision for the next four years,” according to the RNC. “The celebration will culminate in the historic renomination of the president and vice president in Washington, D.C.”
A few additional RNC speakers are sure to turn heads. Among them is Nicholas Sandmann, the Covington Catholic High School student who made headlines in early 2019 when a confrontation with Native American activist Nathan Phillips went viral. The full list is below:
* Former Attorney General Pam Bondi of Florida
* Attorney General Daniel Cameron of Kentucky
* Abby Johnson (anti-abortion activist)
* Jason Joyce (Maine lobsterman)
* Myron Lizer (VP of the Navajo Nation)
* Mary Ann Mendoza (We Build the Wall consultant)
* Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez of Florida
* Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky
* John Peterson (owner of Schuette Metals in Rothschild, Wis.)
* Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
* Gov. Kim Reynolds of Iowa
* Nicholas Sandmann (Covington Catholic High School student)
* Eric Trump
* First Lady Melania Trump
* Tiffany Trump
