How to watch the 2020 Republican National Convention on CBC

How to watch the 2020 Republican National Convention on CBC

The 2020 Republican National Convention continues through Thursday in Charlotte, N.C.

Unlike the Democratic National Convention, which was entirely virtual, a modified in-person gathering will happen over four days in Charlotte, with fewer delegates and staff than the Republican National Committee normally requires.

According to a statement on the convention website, all participants will go through COVID-19 screening prior to arriving in Charlotte, wear masks and undergo daily temperature and symptoms checks. Social distancing will be required in all venues.

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence were formally nominated to run again as Republican candidates in the November presidential election.

Here's how to follow along on CBC News Network and online at CBCNews.ca:
