Senior Trump campaign officials said the Republican National Convention will feature nightly surprises. The convention has been pared down considerably and will be somewhat virtual but it appears Trump hasnt totally abandoned his dreams of a massive, mask-free crowd.
President Donald Trump is hoping for a convention next week that looks vastly different from the event Democrats have staged over the past days including at least some type of audience who can respond to the multiple appearances he is planning to make. Calling aides at all hours from Air Force One or the White House residence, Trump has conveyed last-minute ideas on gimmicks he wants during his nominating extravaganza.
