WATCH LIVE: Night 2 Republican Midterm Convention
The first midterm Republican National Convention wraps tonight with an emphasis on policies to help everyday Americans in areas of public health, business, and affordability and memorials honoring Charlie Kirk, victims of border crime, and the 25th anniversary observance of the September 11 terrorist attacks.Vice President JD Vance headlines the convention's closing night, right before President Donald Trump's closing remarks. Earlier in the evening, first son Donald Trump Jr. takes on the extreme liberal Democrats, and Karoline Leavitt, the former White House press secretary, is set to outline the "Golden Age of America." Two somber moments will take place during the middle of the night’s program. First, the convention will remember Charlie Kirk, who was killed a year ago Thursday. Pastor Lucas Miles of TPUSA Faith will deliver a prayer and tribute to Kirk. Then, the program marks the 25th observance of September 11 with a remote appearance by Tunnel to Towers CEO Frank Siller, a presentation of colors, a wreath-laying, and a performance of "Ave Maria" by Christopher Macchio.Other speakers include: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who will speak on food choices and Making America Healthy Again. His speech is one of many touting the MAHA initiatives.

Texas. Sen. Ted Cruz, Gov. Greg Abbott, and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick all speak, along with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on the road ahead. Mike Rogers, running for Senate in Michigan, will highlight the radical agenda of Abdul El-Sayed. Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) and Rep.
