What to watch tonight

RNC speakers include Pence, Karen Pence, Kellyanne Conway and Lara Trump.

Vice President Mike Pence wins the spotlight at the convention on Wednesday, though he may spend much of his speech praising the star of show, President Donald Trump.

The program also features second lady Karen Pence.

The location of the vice president’s acceptance speech reflects the effort by convention planners to showcase historic monuments, in this case Fort McHenry in Baltimore, where a battle inspired what would become “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The schedule includes three Republican U.S. House members – Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, Elise Stefanik, RN.Y., and Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y. – and two GOP senators, Marsha Blackburn, RTenn., and Joni Ernst., R-Iowa. Republican Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota will also speak.

Perhaps the most prominent Trump ally on the agenda: Kellyanne Conway. The counselor to the president announced this week she was leaving the White House to spend more time with her family.

Other speakers on Wednesday include:

Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law;

Sister Dede Byrne, a surgeon and retired Army officer who works with the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and Scott Dane, executive director of the Associated Contract Loggers & Truckers of Minnesota;

Richard Grenell, former ambassador to Germany and acting director of National Intelligence;

Keith Kellogg, Pence’s national security adviser;

Jack Brewer, former professional football player;

Clarence Henderson, advisory board member with Black Voices for Trump.
