Over 50,000 people, including 2,500 delegates, are expected to attend the Republican National Convention, where the party will meet to formally nominate its candidate for President and Vice President, and adopt a platform.

Sen. Britt delivered the official GOP response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address earlier this year, making her debut to an audience nationwide as a top party voice and the only Republican mom in the U.S. Senate to working age kids.

Donald Trump is expected to accept the party’s nomination on Thursday night in a blockbuster speech. Beforehand, the former president’s son, Donald Trump, Jr. is also scheduled to speak.

It’s also been announced that a dais of surrogates and celebrities are slated to attend and deliver dynamic endorsements, including Florida Governor and former presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, UFC president Dana White, and president of the Teamsters union Sean O’Brien.

Speeches will be carried on primetime television broadcasts, available on networks including FOX News, ABC News, C-SPAN and others.
