The Republican National Convention began Monday, with a mix of virtual speeches and in-person events, including a gathering of 300 delegates in a North Carolina ballroom to renominate President Donald Trump as top of the party’s ticket for November. The week is expected to include multiple speeches from Trump, as well as appearances from his family members, his staunchest allies in Congress, and some conservative internet figures. In for Jim Braude, Adam Reilly was joined by Jess Bidgood, national politics reporter for The Boston Globe, and Peter Ubertaccio, Dean of Stonehill College’s School of Arts & Sciences.
