As part of tonight’s program, the Democratic National Convention will shine a spotlight on the events of January 6 and Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Multiple sources familiar with the program have indicated that the convention will feature multiple videos highlighting the events of January 6 and Trump's persistent denial of the election results.
Two prominent Republican figures are set to deliver speeches during the convention. Georgia’s former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan will address Republicans who are growing weary of making excuses for Donald Trump. His speech is expected to emphasize the importance of standing up for what is right and holding individuals accountable for their actions.
Another Republican speaker, Olivia Troye, who previously served as a national security adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, will also take the stage. Troye has been a vocal critic of Trump's potential return to the presidency and is anticipated to call on Republicans, independents, and swing voters to support Kamala Harris in the upcoming elections.
Following these speeches, Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the January 6 Select Committee, is scheduled to address the convention. Thompson's speech will serve as a stark reminder and a cautionary tale of the events that transpired during the chaotic final days of Trump's presidency, according to a source familiar with the evening's lineup.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who served on the January 6 committee, is slated to speak at the convention tomorrow night, further underscoring the importance of addressing the events of January 6 and holding those responsible accountable for their actions.
