WEDNESDAY, JULY 20
7 p.m. Wednesday session begins. The vice presidential nominee generally speaks on Wednesday night. Rumored vice presidential candidates include Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin.
THURSDAY, JULY 21
7:30 p.m. Thursday session begins. Usually the nominee closes out the convention, so you can expect Donald Trump to speak on this night. Confirmed speakers throughout the week include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who is a delegate; Trump's vanquished primary rival Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas; and House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, who will discuss the House Republican agenda and party unity. Trump has said his children -- sons Eric and Donald Jr., daughter Ivanka and wife, Melania -- will speak as well. In addition, those expected to speak include Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn and Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette.
