When is Donald Trump's speech at the 2024 RNC? Start time, where to watch and stream

Former President Donald Trump, on the heels of an assassination attempt, is slated to close out the Republican National Convention on Thursday with his keynote speech.

Former President Donald Trump will be closing out the Republican National Convention (RNC) Thursday night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, only days after an assassination attempt on his life.

The RNC, which began on Monday and has around 80 speakers, will end with Trump's speech. The former president and current Republican nominee for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, will talk to the crowd at the Fiserv Forum following the assassination attempt on Saturday during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that injured him, two attendees of the event and killed a 50-year-old man.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was identified as the shooter who fired multiple gunshots toward the rally stage where Trump was speaking to a crowd of his supporters, the FBI confirmed in a statement.

Trump, who's been donning a bandage over his right ear throughout the RNC, named Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate at the convention on Monday.

Here is what to know ahead of the former president's speech at the RNC.
