With President Donald Trump formally nominated, the nightly programming of the 2020 Republican National Convention will get underway at 8:30 ET on Monday, highlighted by speeches from Donald Trump Jr. and Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina).
Trump Jr., who has been heading up his father's business during his time in the White House, has become one of the leaders of the Republican Party's youth movement. Scott, the GOP's only Black senator, was elected to a full term in 2016 after taking over the seat by appointment in 2013.
Also slated to speak Monday are Mark and Patricia McCloskey — a St. Louis couple who garnered national attention earlier this year when they waved guns at Black Lives Matter protesters near their property. Former Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker will also speak on Monday.
The theme for Monday's program is "The Land of Promise." According to the Trump campaign, the theme is meant to represent the promises President Donald J. Trump has kept since his first presidential campaign.
