Who is — and isn’t — speaking at the Republican National Convention

The 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee will feature over 110 speakers, including dozens of election deniers and Trump-friendly celebrities. At least 61 speakers have questioned or denied Joe Biden's 2020 victory or expressed doubt about the 2024 election's integrity. The Trump family will have a smaller role this year, with only four members speaking, including Donald Jr., his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Eric Trump. Notably absent are Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Tiffany Trump, who spoke at the 2016 and 2020 conventions. Other missing figures include GOP establishment figures who have fallen out of Trump's orbit, such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, former House speaker Kevin McCarthy, former vice president Mike Pence, and Sen. Joni Ernst. Rudy Giuliani and Pam Bondi, Trump loyalists who spoke at previous conventions, are also not on the list. Dana White, Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Tom Cotton, and Ben Carson will speak at their third GOP convention in a row. Seven of Trump's 2016 and 2024 Republican primary opponents will also take the stage, including Nikki Haley, who previously questioned Trump's mental fitness and called him a "disaster" for the party.
