The first day of the 2020 Republican National Convention has kicked off with President Trump playing a central role in the virtual event. The Republicans wanted to go ahead with a full convention, but organisers were forced to a compromise with a few hundred party staffers allowed to gather for the event under strict COVID-19 restrictions.
President Trump hosted two different sit-down meetings, where the lack of masks worn by attendees was a notable feature. Donald Trump Jr, former fox host Kimberly Guilfoyle, former UN Ambassador Nikki Hayley and rising Republican star Senator Tim Scott were also among the other speakers on night one of the Republican National Convention. President Trump is expected to give his keynote speech on the White House lawn on the final night of the convention.
