President Donald Trump and family will be omnipresent during the Republican National Convention this coming week.

In addition to President Donald Trump, the RNC reports half of the 12 “key speakers” will be Trumps. They include wife Melania, daughter Ivanka, son Eric, and daughter Tiffany as main speakers for the convention, which starts Monday and runs through Thursday.

Beyond the Trump family, Vice President Mike Pence, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott are lined up to speak.

The complete schedule of speakers can be found here.

Trump and Pence are expected to appear in-person at the Charlotte, North Carolina convention site on Monday. It is anticipated they will attend the roll call vote of states by the delegates for their formal nomination. The rest of the convention will be held off site. Trump will give brief remarks after being nominated, but his formal acceptance speech is expected to be Thursday from the White House.

Most of the convention will be virtual. The central convention location will be the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C.

The main theme of the GOP convention is “Honoring the Great American Story.” Each night will feature remarks from political leaders as well as “everyday Americans whose stories are filled with hope and patriotism,” the Trump campaign said.
