How, Whom To Watch On Day 3 Of The 2020 Republican National Convention

Day 3 of the 2020 Republican National Convention kicks off at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and has been titled “Land of Heroes.” RNC President Marcia Lee Kelly said the program will place a special emphasis on women heroes and celebrate 100 years of women voting.

“As we honor 100 years of 'votes for women' and recognize the fierce allies women have in President (Donald) Trump and Vice President (Mike) Pence, we celebrate the heroes, rising stars and the next generation of Republican women,” Kelly said in a press release.

It is easily the busiest day of the 2020 RNC, with at least 20 scheduled speakers set to appear between 8:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. It will be available to watch on most major cable outlets and networks, along with their respective online news arms.

Livestreams will be available to view on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, and Amazon Prime Video.

Some of the speakers set to appear are:

Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence

Trump’s vice president and his wife are expected to open Wednesday, with Pence speaking remotely from Fort McHenry in Baltimore. Pence has acquitted himself during Trump’s presidency as arguably his closest ally, regularly echoing Trump during press briefings and public appearances.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem

Noem previously served as the U.S. representative for South Dakota from 2011 to 2019. She has faced repeated criticism since the coronavirus outbreak began in February for refusing to institute shutdowns. She has also refused to mandate masks and echoed Trump in promoting hydroxychloroquine as treatment.

Coronavirus cases have recently surged in the state, which have been sourced to the Sturgiss motorcycle rally that ran from Aug. 7 to Aug. 16. As of Wednesday, South Dakota has 11,585 confirmed cases and 161 reported deaths.

White House adviser Kellyanne Conway

Conway will address the RNC in what is set to be one of her last public appearances as a member of the Trump administration. Conway said she was leaving the administration amid tensions with her husband, George, and daughter, Claudia. George Conway has been one of Trump’s most outspoken critics within the Republican Party and Claudia is seeking emancipation from her parents.

Lara Trump

Another Trump family member set to make an appearance is Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump and a former television producer. Formerly a producer at "Inside Edition," she joined the Trump campaign in 2016 and became the host/producer of its “Real News Update” webcast in 2017.

Other speakers set to appear include Keith Kellogg, Burgess Owens, Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, New York Rep. Lee Zeldin, and Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn.
