RNC 2024: See full week broadcast schedule, how to watch and livestream
The 2024 Republican National Convention continues in Milwaukee as notable GOP leaders and Republican voters make their pitch to Americans across the country after Tuesday's session focused on safety issues including crime and border security.
Some of Trump's most vocal allies, including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and some of his primary rivals, like Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, took the stage Tuesday to call on Americans to grant the former president another term in office. Republicans also criticized President Joe Biden's handling of the southern border, the opioid epidemic and more.
On Monday, the convention's first day, Trump announced Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, as his running mate, and he was formally nominated.
The convention comes in the wake of an assassination attempt against Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the weekend. An attendee at the campaign stop was killed and two others were seriously inured.
The 2024 Republican National Convention continues today through Thursday. Here's everything you need to know, including the week's full schedule and how to watch.
