The Trump campaign on Sunday released the lineup of speakers slated to appear at the Republican National Convention this week.
The big picture: The reworked RNC will be a four-night spectacle including still-under-wraps venues, a 10 p.m. "nightly surprise" and guests and themes playing to "the forgotten men and women of America," campaign officials tell Axios. Trump plans to speak every night and will deliver his acceptance speech from the South Lawn of the White House, according to the New York Times.
