Michael Whatley, chair of the Republican National Committee, said on Sunday that his party will roll out an “overwhelmingly positive” vision for America at the convention in a couple of weeks.
“We’re going to have a fantastic convention. We’re very, very excited about it. We’re going to have 50,000 delegates, guests and members of the media that are going to be in Milwaukee, and they’re going to see us roll out a vision for America that is going to be overwhelmingly positive,” Whatley said in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday,” when Chris Stirewalt asked what media should expect from the convention.
“We’re really excited about being able to present Donald Trump as our nominee to go forward with it,” Whatley added.
The Republican National Convention is slated to take place on July 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wis., just four days after Trump is slated to face sentencing after he was found guilty in a New York criminal trial last month.
Stirewalt noted that Republicans punted on outlining a specific platform in 2020 and has evolved in its views significantly since 2016, when the party supported military assistance for Ukraine and a national ban on abortions at 20 weeks.
