MILWAUKEE — Former President Donald Trump will be closing out the Republican National Convention this evening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in his first speech since an assassination attempt on his life.
The RNC began on Monday night and has had around 80 speakers, including members of Trump's family and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance.
The former president and Republican nominee for the 2024 U.S. presidential election will address the crowd at the Fiserv Forum to close out the convention. The speech will be the first time Trump has spoken since an assassination attempt was made on his life on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania.
What time will Trump speak?
Trump's speech is expected to be at 7 p.m. Arizona time and will be after Dana White, CEO of Ultimate Fighting Champion, speaks, according to an article from USA Today.
Other people speaking this evening are Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State; Alina Habba, Trump’s attorney; Tucker Carlson, Hulk Hogan, professional entertainer and wrestler; Eric Trump, and Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
