GOP convention kicks off in Cleveland

The GOP is poised to nominate Donald Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention, which kicked off Monday. You can watch the speeches live from Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland below.

 

Monday’s theme for the 2016 Republican National Convention is “Make America Safe Again,” and the primetime lineup features some atypical speakers for a political convention. Slated for primetime speaking slots are soap opera actor and model Anthony Sabato Jr., of The Bold and The Beautiful and General Hospital, and Scott Baio, known for his role as Chachi on Happy Days.

The evening’s schedule also features survivors of the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi as well as immigration activists whose relatives were killed by immigrants living in the United States illegally.

Rounding out the program will be former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Monday will also be when Trump’s wife, Melania, addresses the convention — it turns out the nominee-in-waiting will be there to introduce her.
