Other speakers on Thursday include wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, Trump’s son Eric Trump, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba, and the head of Trump Golf International. UFC head Dana White and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson are also expected to speak .

The family will join Trump on stage after his speech for the balloon drop, a traditional part of the convention.
What is the Republican National Convention?
The RNC happens every four years for the party to choose its presidential candidate and get ready for the final campaign. Delegates from each state support their chosen candidate and approve the party platform. Trump was the presumptive nominee, having won enough delegates in the primaries.
What’s on the RNC Platform?
Thursday’s theme is “Make America Great Once Again.” Previous themes included “Make America Wealthy Once Again,” “Make America Safe Again,” and “Make America Strong Again.” This year’s platform is 16 pages long, shorter than the previous 66-page platforms from 2016 and 2020. It includes policies endorsed by Trump, softening language on abortion and avoiding defining marriage as between a man and a woman .
