Trump is expected to receive a rousing welcome from supporters and delegates after escaping a shocking assassination attempt on Saturday at a rally in Pennsylvania.

How do they choose the speakers for the RNC?

The people who are addressing the convention include members of Trump's family, Republican officials and candidates, officials from Trump's administration, and entertainers, celebrities and business leaders who support Trump. The convention will also feature everyday Americans who highlight its themes this week, including a decorated military veteran, a teacher who used to be a Democrat but now supports Trump, a union worker who backs Trump, an Arizona rancher worried about border security, legal Latino immigrants who are still feeling the financial sting of inflation, a community activist whose town has been overrun by homelessness, and a number of others.

Who spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention?

While several of the scheduled 2024 convention speakers also appeared at the 2020 convention, there are some notable absences this year, in particular, former Vice President Mike Pence, who ran against Trump for the 2024 nomination and has said he is not endorsing him this year. Nikki Haley, another Trump primary rival, originally was not slated to speak at the convention, her spokesperson said, but she has also accepted an invitation to speak, two sources familiar with the planning told CBS News. Before the convention, Haley released the several dozen delegates she won in the primaries and encouraged them to vote for Trump, in the interest of party unity.
