Trump will be officially nominated Tuesday night
After a rocky start, the Republican National Convention continues on Tuesday with a roll call of delegates in order to officially select Donald Trump as the party nominee. As the "Never Trump" movement has already flexed its muscles at the 2016 convention, there could be a challenge when the roll call begins at 5:30 p.m. ET, although Trump is expected to take the nomination without much of a problem.
Tuesday's theme is "Make America Work Again" and will include speeches by Trump's youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, 22, as well as Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White, professional golfer and Celebrity Apprentice contestant Natalie Gulbis, Trump Winery manager Kerry Woolard, Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.), Dr. Ben Carson, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and Donald Trump Jr.
