The convention of the Republican party that will crown Donald Trump with the presidential nomination, in the hope that the tycoon can stay in the White House for another four years, is starting. The event, largely in virtual format, will last until Thursday when the president's acceptance speech is expected.
The first part takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina, in front of 336 delegates who will vote for Trump's nomination.
The program includes, spread over the four days, speeches by all the main members of the Trump family, starting in the next few hours with that of the president's eldest son, Donald Jr.
Tuesday will be the turn of first lady Melania and tycoon's children Eric and Tiffany. On Wednesday the daughter-in-law Lara Trump, Eric's wife, will speak and on Thursday the favorite Ivanka who will have the task of introducing the acceptance speech of the father's nomination.
On the first day, the speech of Nikki Haley, the former US ambassador to the UN who many consider the rising star of the Republican party with a possible future as a candidate for the White House, is also expected.
