Speeches in support of Donald Trump

Delegates who attended the GOP convention made an appeal to the American people to support President Trump's candidacy.

Donald Trump's campaign headquarters said that every day, starting Monday, August 24, political leaders, as well as "ordinary Americans", whose life stories are "filled with hope and patriotism," will speak at the convention.
