Follow AP’s live coverage of the Republican National Convention.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Republican National Convention kicks off this week, with delegates and officials descending on Wisconsin amid the tumult that follows a Saturday attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump as he prepares to become the GOP’s official nominee.
What to know:
- Latest on the assassination attempt: FBI officials say they have yet to determine what motivated the shooter to open fire from a nearby rooftop, killing one spectator and critically injuring two others before he was shot dead by the Secret Service.
- How to watch the RNC: The RNC will livestream proceedings across a number of online platforms, including YouTube and X. A number of networks have announced special programming for the primetime evening portions of the convention.
- Is Trump speaking at the RNC today?: Trump is expected to give his nomination acceptance speech on Thursday. But he’s yet to announce his running mate, who will be expected to deliver a speech of their own on Wednesday night.
The quadrennial event in one of this cycle’s key battleground states takes place not only as Trump leads a party in lockstep behind him, but as Democrats roil over President Joe Biden’s viability and if they should replace him as their nominee.
It’s also happening as federal officials probe how a gunman was able to open fire from a rooftop near a Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania, killing a bystander and critically wounding two others.
There will be speeches from Trump, his still-unknown running mate, some of those who ran against him and a number of others both rallying support for their nominee and arguing against the Democrats’ case for the presidency.
