WASHINGTON - This week's Republican National Convention will be a four-day celebration of US President Donald Trump, featuring a younger generation that may be hoping for a shot at the White House in 2024, as well as a St. Louis couple who brandished guns at anti-racism protesters.
Mr Trump's children, including Ms Ivanka Trump, Mr Donald Trump Jr and Mr Eric Trump, will also get prominent speaking roles. Republicans are looking to strike a more optimistic vision for the country, seeking a contrast with what they saw as the Democrats' more ominous perspective laid out at their convention last week.
They were charged with felony weapons offences, which Mr Trump has called a"disgrace." Their attorney, Mr Joel Schwartz, said their appearance had been confirmed by Republican organisers. Vice-President Mike Pence will be the main speaker on Wednesday. He will deliver his remarks from Baltimore's Fort McHenry, made famous in the War of 1812 when it was successfully defended against an attack by the British navy, inspiring the poem that became the lyrics for the US national anthem,"The Star-Spangled Banner."
