Trump’s RNC Speech: POTUS to Outline Policy for a Possible Second Term

On Monday, Donald Trump told the Republican National Convention that the 3 November vote will be “the most important election in the history” of the United States.

President Donald Trump is due to formally accept the nomination for a second term when delivering a keynote speech during the fourth and final day of the Republican National Convention (RNC) later on Thursday.

Trump, who will address the nation on the White House South Lawn, is expected to focus on his current record in office and outline a blueprint for the next four years.  

Apart from the US president, also speaking at the RNC on Thursday will reportedly be Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, as well as attorney Rudy Giuliani and religious leader Franklin Graham.

Vice President Pence’s Speech at RNC 

Trump’s address will come after day three of the RNC, during which Vice President Mike Pence touted Trump’s strengthening of the US military and the establishment of the country’s Space Force.

He spent most of his speech praising the Trump campaign’s support for religious freedom and free markets, slamming the Democrats’ “radical” agenda of government control and supporting Trump’s call for “law and order” amid looting, arson, and rioting across the US, caused by shootings and the deaths of Black people at the hands of police.

Pence’s speech came after the US president’s surprise appearance at the RNC on Monday, when Trump minced no words as he blamed the Democrats for seeking to steal the 3 November presidential election by advocating for mail-in voting.

The remarks followed Trump insisting last week that while absentee voting was good, vote-by-mail was “very bad” and subject to election fraud.

“Universal mail-in voting is going to be catastrophic, it’s going to make our country a laughing stock all over the world”, POTUS pointed out. He added that it could take “months” to determine the result of November’s elections, and blamed the Democrats for not approving “proper funding” for the postal service.
