Crime victims’ families to speak as RNC turns to immigration and Trump’s son signals softer rhetoric

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Republican National Convention is resuming with a focus on immigration and crime with families impacted by violent crime slated to speak at the convention Tuesday night (July 16, 2024). Immigration is central to former President Donald Trump’s political brand that helped endear him to the GOP base when he began his first campaign in 2015. Tuesday’s speakers will include several Republican U.S. Senate candidates in states with close races, such as Ohio, Nevada and Montana, according to a source familiar. Tuesday’s primetime program also includes remarks from some of Trump’s top GOP primary rivals.
