What to expect on Day 3 of the RNC?
Welcome to Day 3 of the Republican National Convention, where the spotlight shifts to foreign policy at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum. As the convention continues, the focus remains on projecting unity within the party and rallying support behind former President Donald Trump.
Former rivals like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis took to the stage on Tuesday to express their endorsement of Trump’s bid for the White House. Haley, in a significant turnaround, declared, “Donald Trump has my strong endorsement, period,” emphasizing the choice Americans face between Trump and President Biden in November.
Trump, sporting a bandage over his ear from a recent incident, sat alongside Sen. JD Vance, who is scheduled to speak on Wednesday evening.
Today’s theme, “Make America Strong Once Again,” is a clear nod to foreign policy and the country’s position on the world stage. From national security to international conflicts, the day will center on critiquing the Biden administration’s approach and advocating for a return to America’s strength under Trump.
The day’s events kick off at 5:45 CT, with Vance, the vice presidential nominee, poised to introduce himself to the party. The lineup for the week includes appearances from Trump’s family members, country music stars, and notable figures like Tucker Carlson.
Delegates can anticipate hearing from North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a top contender for the vice presidential slot. Trump himself is slated to address the convention on Thursday as he formally accepts the nomination.
For those tuning in via cable, CBS television stations will provide coverage starting at 10 p.m. ET each night. If you prefer to stream the convention, CBS News 24/7 offers continuous coverage and streams of the keynote speeches throughout the day on various platforms.
