What to watch tonight

President Donald Trump wraps up the four- day convention. Other speakers include Ben Carson, Ivanka Trump and Rudy Giuliani.

President Donald Trump wraps up the weeklong Republican convention with a nomination acceptance speech that is already contentious because of its location: the White House.

Despite objections that the executive mansion should not be used for such an overt campaign event, Trump will make his prime- time argument for a second term from a makeshift outdoor theater on the South Lawn.

Programming starts at 8: 30 p. m. ET. Trump is expected to speak shortly after 10 p. m., and his speech will be followed by a fireworks display.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson is on the speaking list, just before Trump’s acceptance speech.

The Thursday program also includes presidential daughter Ivanka Trump.

Congressional speakers include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R- Ky., and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R- Calif. Viewers will also hear from Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R- N. J., a former Democrat who switched parties during the president’s impeachment.

Non- government Trump supporters scheduled to speak include the widow of a slain retired police officer in Missouri, a businesswoman from Wisconsin and the parents of a U. S. aid worker killed overseas by the Islamic State.

Also scheduled is former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a defense attorney for Trump during impeachment.
