When, Whom To Watch On Day Two Of The 2020 Republican National Convention

Tuesday marks Day 2 of the 2020 Republican National Convention, titled “Land of Opportunity.”

Like Day 1, coverage of the convention will run from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Tuesday with 17 scheduled speakers set to appear. President Donald Trump will close out the show, as well, with the second of four announced daily appearances.

Coverage will be provided by most major networks and cable outlets, along with their respective news arms for online coverage. Day two will be available to view digitally on Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube and Amazon Prime Video.

Among the most notable speakers set to appear on Tuesday are:

Melania Trump

The current first lady of the U.S., the Slovenian-born former model is only the second first lady born outside the U.S. alongside Louisa Adams, the wife of President John Quincy Adams. Melania Trump married Donald Trump in 2005 and gave birth to Barron Trump in 2006. She has recently come under fire for renovations of the White House Rose Garden, with many people on social media saying she removed the color and character that made the Rose Garden what it was. Her 2016 convention speech stirred controversy because of its word-for-word repetition of phrases and themes from the speech given by Michelle Obama in 2008.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

The former CIA director and U.S. representative from Kansas is set to appear remotely as he is currently in Israel. Mike Pompeo rose to prominence in 2010 as part of the wave of Tea Party Republicans elected in the wake of President Barack Obama’s election in 2008. Since being appointed the nation's top diplomat, Pompeo has followed Trump in regularly criticizing China and has intensified his attacks amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Sen. Rand Paul

The junior senator from Kentucky is another Tea Party Republican who won public office during the 2010 election. The son of notable libertarian and former Rep. Ron Paul, Rand Paul has described himself as a “constitutional conservative” and is among the most outspoken Republican members of the Senate. He ran against Trump in the 2016 Republican Primary where he was highly critical, but has since become a close ally.

Eric Trump

The second of Trump’s sons and his third child from his first marriage to Ivana Trump, Eric Trump has overseen his father’s businesses alongside Donald Trump Jr. since their father’s election in 2016. He is currently under investigation for allegedly receiving illegal, nondisclosed foreign donations as part of his father’s inauguration committee.

Tiffany Trump

The third member of Trump’s family set to speak on Tuesday, Tiffany Trump is the president's younger daughter and only child from his marriage to Marla Maples. She is the least politically active of Trump’s four older children, typically focusing on her career as a social media influencer and trying to cultivate a career related to fashion.

Other speakers set to appear include Abby Johnson, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez and Nicholas Sandmann.
