We now return you to your regularly scheduled Megathread!

Today is July 16th and it’s the second day of the Republican National Convention where Donald J. Trump will be officially nominated as the Republican candidate for President of the United States.

The convention runs Mon-Thur, you can see the calendar of events here:

The Day 1 Megathread can be found here!

Typically, day 2 of the convention is where things start to ramp up, but day 1 ALREADY saw the actual nomination vote of Donald J. Trump, the announcement of his running mate, J.D. Vance, and the appearance of an unusually somber, almost SAD looking Trump on the show floor.

We should see speeches from more prominent people starting today, culminating in Trump’s actual acceptance speech to close out festivities on Thursday.

    I keep trying to watch but my eyes can only roll so many times. I turned it off already.

    I did want to catch Haley’s speech if anyone knows what time?

    Edit: I listened to her speech. It was very ChatGPT basic.
