Rudy Giuliani, Kellyanne Conway, Trump children among RNC speakers


The Republican National Convention starts Monday, and on Sunday, the Trump campaign announced who will speak at the four-day event.
President Trump will accept the nomination on Thursday night, but before that, several of his relatives — including daughter Ivanka Trump, son Donald Trump Jr., and daughter-in-law Lara Trump — will speak on his behalf.
Monday night's roster includes Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the only Black Republican in the Senate; former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley; and Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis husband and wife who pointed guns at protesters walking by their house.
