Where to watch the RNC 2020 tonight: Melania Trump, Mike Pompeo, Rand Paul

This story is part of Elections 2020, CNET’s coverage of the run-up to voting in November.

The second day of the Republican National Convention starts tonight with speeches from first lady Melania Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Tiffany Trump and Eric Trump. The first day of the RNC kicked off with the GOP formally renominating President Donald Trump as its 2020 candidate. Trump is expected to officially accept the nomination Thursday night. The RNC is taking place at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, the event’s third location after being moved twice due to COVID-19 restrictions and a surge in coronavirus cases. 

The convention will be attended in person by six delegates from each state and territory, for a total of 336 people. Organizers had originally expected roughly 2,500 delegates to be on site before the pandemic forced organizers to scale back the event. All attendees will follow health protocols, including mask wearing, social distancing and pretravel COVID-19 testing. All delegates will be required to undergo daily symptom tracking and temperature checks.

Throughout the week, you’ll see speeches from the president, Vice President Mike Pence, Ivanka Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. 

Trump and Pence are running against former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, who were formally nominated at the Democratic National Convention last week.

The main RNC speeches will start at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT) each day and end at 11 p.m ET (8 p.m. PT). The convention runs from Monday, Aug. 24 through Thursday, Aug. 27.
