When Trump speaks at RNC tonight, theme is back to basics: 'Make America Great Once Again.' What to know
The fourth and final day of the Republican National Convention calls back to former President Donald Trump’s slogan with the theme “Make America Great Once Again.”
Trump is expected to formally accept the GOP’s presidential nomination on Thursday, and the day is set to focus on his plan for the country if he is elected to the White House this fall. According to the Republican National Committee, Trump will “usher in a new golden age” bringing “prosperity, safety, and strength” to American families.
The fourth day comes after a week of GOP lawmakers, celebrities, and other party loyalists have espoused Trump’s platform. On Wednesday, Ohio Sen. JD Vance officially accepted the vice-presidential nomination, and Trump’s family members like son Donald Trump Jr. and granddaughter Kai Trump addressed the crowd.
Each day of the convention has had a theme playing off of the MAGA, “Make America Great Again,” slogan: Wednesday focused on national security with “Make America Strong Once Again,” and Tuesday revolved around law enforcement under “Make America Safe Once Again.” Monday’s theme was “Make America Wealthy Once Again.”
