Trump is expected to address the convention for the first time since he survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, last weekend.

Thursday’s programming will be centered around Trump campaign slogan “Make America Great Once Again,” tying together the convention’s first three days with a vision of “prosperity, safety, and strength” under a second Trump term.

The evening’s official programming will begin at 6:45 p.m. EDT, but the RNC hasn’t announced an official list of speakers for the final day as of Thursday morning.

The convention’s full slate of speakers includes several prominent GOP officials and conservative personalities who have not yet addressed the crowd, including Trump’s son Eric Trump, conservative media personality Tucker Carlson and RNC Chairman Michael Whatley.

Trump told the Washington Examiner in a Sunday evening interview that he plans to call for unity during the speech, adding that he originally intended to highlight President Joe Biden’s policies but that the speech was “a lot different” after he was shot in the ear at a campaign rally the previous day. The address could set the tone for the rest of the election as both campaigns have acknowledged the need to cool the political temperature in the country.

GOP officials including former Texas Senator Ted Cruz and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem addressed the convention during its first three days, highlighting issues of immigration, public safety and economic policy. Since formally nominating Trump on the convention’s first day, the party has projected a message of unity behind Trump, with several of his former challengers — including South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — offering forceful endorsements of the former president. Ohio Senator JD Vance, who Trump announced as his running mate on Monday, headlined the convention’s third day of programming with a speech about his Appalachian roots that lauded Trump and criticized the Biden administration.
