Presidential nominees often do not appear at their own political convention until the fourth and final night, to accept the nomination. More than 70 other GOP convention speakers plan to deliver Trump's message on the virtual convention stage this week.  The virtual online convention is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. ET.
