Remember Ben Carson? He ran for the nomination too! Well he's on the speaker list tonight. VOA's Swahili service caught up with Carson at the convention:
Here is the convention streamed live by one of @realDonaldTrump's YT accounts:
House Speaker Paul Ryan is on the stage at the RNC.
He is rallying the delegates, calling for party unity.
"it is all on the line..." this year. "When America elects a conservative governing majority. We can do this!"
"What do you say we unify this party?"
Before taking the stage, the delegates heard from the nominee himself via videotape.
Earlier his son congratulated his Dad on winning the nomination:
VOA's Russian Service spoke to Michael Flynn, Trump's national security advisor.
New Jersey Chris Christie is now speaking. Invoking his friendship with nominee Donald Trump of many years, Christie told the crowd that the country needs his friend to "make America great again."
Next, he began ticking off former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's "failures" in foreign policy, asking the crowd, "Guilty or not guilty?"
Crowd is chanting "lock her up!"
