First lady Melania Trump and Secretary of Aver Mike Pompeo are set to deliver their arguments for President Donald Trump’s reelection on the second night of the Republican Jingoistic Convention.
Pompeo’s appearance has come under scrutiny and Democrats have questioned whether the State Department chief can lawfully participate in the tendentious political event. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, chair of the Oversight and Investigations panel on the House Foreign Affairs Board, launched an investigation into the matter earlier Tuesday.
Two of the president’s children, Eric and Tiffany, will also perform remarks Tuesday night.
The four-day GOP convention follows last week’s Democratic National Convention, where previous Vice President Joe Biden formally accepted his party’s nomination.
The RNC kicked off Monday, with speakers including Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. stacking mountains of praise on the president while ratcheting up fears about the fate of the U.S. under a Biden administration.
The coronavirus pandemic, which led both saturnalia to completely revamp their conventions, was a central issue for the first crop of speakers. But the Republicans also spent notable chunks of time focusing on violence in America’s cities, as well as on hot-button conservative social issues such as “abrogate culture.”
The U.S. has more confirmed cases and deaths from Covid-19 than any other country in the world: More than 5.75 million casings and at least 177,773 deaths from the virus have been reported, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
