Plans for the celebration part of the convention -- including Trump's acceptance speech -- were far from settled just days before the event was set to begin. Details remain in flux and Trump was calling his advisers with recommendations on planning throughout last week, sources said, critiquing aspects of the Democratic National Convention and looking to upstage his rival.
The RNC will lead off on Monday morning with official convention business -- formally nominating Trump from the Charlotte Convention Center to be the party's standard-bearer for another four years.
The Charlotte portion of the convention will begin with the presidential nomination and seconding speeches and an in-person roll call among the delegates who are set to gather in North Carolina, according to a Republican familiar with the planning.
There were plans in the works for Trump to possibly join delegates in Charlotte on Monday, but those plans were not finalized, according to a Republican source familiar. For the small gathering of delegates in Charlotte on Monday, each state, territory and the District of Columbia is sending only a six-person delegation. The roll call, historically a lengthy process in which each state in alphabetical order announces how many delegates will be delivered to each candidate based on primary results, will formally nominate Trump.
The president must secure 1, delegates to be put over the top. Trump was awarded all but one delegate during the primary season, with that one being allocated to his former challenger, ex-Massachusetts Gov. Before delegates touch down in Charlotte, the party asked for them to stay at home as much as possible starting on Aug.
In Charlotte, attendees will undergo temperature checks before gaining entry to the venue, and will be given a daily "health-pass bracelet," which will be necessary to participate in the gathering. The party also plans to track movements inside the convention site through badges to help with contact tracing.
Attendees are expected to follow social distancing guidelines inside, and the RNC is enforcing North Carolina's statewide mask mandate, so delegates will have to adorn masks even during the roll call. The organizers are also planning to provide attendees with masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and they will have to do check-ins five, 14 and 21 days after the event to trace any possible spread.
The RNC convention account tweeted a photo of the masks and hand sanitizer that will greet delegates upon arrival, writing , "The health and safety of our delegates remains our top priority!
