Republican Convention 2016: Speakers, events and more scheduled for Cleveland
Presumptive nominee Trump will reportedly reveal names of his potential cabinet at the conference.
Mere hours before the start of the 2016 Republican National Convention, the party has released the programme for the "Make America Great Again" convention. The GOP convention's lineup includes a mix of politicians, members of presumptive nominee Donald Trump's family as well as celebrities, veterans and faith leaders.
According to The Hill, Trump will reportedly reveal names for his potential cabinet during the conference after the announcement of his running mate fell flat. Breitbart News reported that Trump ally Roger Stone noted the presumptive nominee will do this in a "perfectly legal" manner.
"Because technically, of course, to promise someone a federal job is a crime so Trump could theoretically say, 'For CIA director I would appoint Gen. Mike Flynn or someone like him," Stone said.
Each day will have a fresh perspective on Trump's campaign slogan: Make America Great Again, according to the GOP. The convention, which will run from 18-21 July, will be held in Cleveland, Ohio at the Quicken Loans Arena.
