Milwaukee Prepares For The Republican National Convention — The ceiling of the Fiserv Forum is shown on the day before the Republican National Convention on Sunday in Milwaukee. Delegates, politicians and the Republican faithful are arriving in Milwaukee for the convention, concluding with former President Donald Trump accepting his party's presidential nomination. The RNC takes place Monday through Thursday.

Republicans kick off their four-day national convention at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Monday, an event that culminates with party delegates officially nominating former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick. Trump is expected to deliver a speech just days after being injured in an assassination attempt by a gunman at a rally in Butler, Pa.

In addition to Trump, other speakers include his vice presidential pick as well as party leaders and rising stars. The Republican Party has given each of the four days a theme:

Monday: Make America Wealthy Once Again
Tuesday: Make America Safe Once Again
Wednesday: Make America Strong Once Again
Thursday: Make America Great Once Again
