A names of headliners and keynote speakers who will be addressing the Republican National Convention event next week has been released, with former President Donald Trump topping the list, which features prominent entertainers, faith leaders, business executives, and leading GOP officials, lawmakers, and candidates from across the nation.

The list was released on July 13 by the Donald J. Trump Campaign and the Republican National Convention’s Committee on Arrangements (COA), with the event set to take place at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee from July 14–18.

Headlining the list is former President Trump, who won the Republican presidential primaries and will almost certainly be elected as the GOP nominee for president at the July 18 closing session.

Former President Trump took to social media after the speaker list was published to share his 20 core promises for a possible second Trump term in the White House, potentially giving a preview of the substance of his acceptance speech. The promises include large tax cuts, lowering inflation, stopping illegal immigration, as well as revitalizing and securing American cities.

Among the Trump family members headlining the convention are the former president’s sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) Lara Trump.

Other key figures from the RNC will also address the convention, including RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, COA Chairwoman Anne Hathaway, and Host Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

Included among the entertainers, celebrities, and industry leaders that will address the convention are media personality Tucker Carlson, the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White, country music star Lee Greenwood, renowned faith leader Franklin Graham, and influential tech entrepreneur David Sacks.

A robust lineup of GOP officials and candidates will be speaking, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.

Other notable speakers include House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.).

Former government officials such as Dr. Ben Carson, Mike Pompeo, and Newt Gingrich will also contribute their insights to the convention.
