The GOP formally renominated President Donald Trump as its 2020 candidate on Monday and Trump will officially accept the nomination live from the White House tonight. The RNC is taking place at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, the event's third location after being moved twice due to COVID-19 restrictions and a surge in coronavirus cases.
