Trump To Deliver RNC Acceptance Speech From White House South Lawn: Reports

Wires reporting that President Donald Trump will deliver his acceptance speech for the Republican presidential nomination at the party's convention from the White House on August 27.

  • This would mark the first time that a party convention speech had been delivered from the White House rather than a convention floor.
  • Many opponents had called for the president to make the speech from a neutral venue, rather than using the visuals of White House as part of the acceptance address.
  • There is some ambiguity of whether it would be legal for Trump to deliver his speech from the South Lawn, given that the White House is federal property, and therefore is not supposed to be used for party campaigning purposes.
