The Republican National Convention will feature appearances from nearly every member of the Trump family, several of Trump's former rivals, sports stars, and billionaires, The New York Times reports.
The Times obtained a copy of the speaker roster, and it was confirmed by two people with direct knowledge of the convention planning. Trump aides say the presumptive Republican nominee is still inviting people to the event, and sources told The Times the list could change at any moment. The convention will kick off Monday with a Benghazi-focused night, with speakers including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; Trump's wife, Melania; and Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst. Tuesday night's theme is the economy, and will feature remarks from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Tiffany Trump, and Donald Trump Jr.
