The 2020 Republican National Convention begins Monday, marking the start of a four-day online event formally kicking off President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign from Charlotte, North Carolina. Night one, dubbed “Land of Promise,” will open the 2020 RNC to celebrate the last four years of the Trump administration.

“Today, we celebrate the re-nomination of an American President who will be remembered in history as the one who kept his promises and paved a way forward even in the most challenging of times,” 2020 RNC president and CEO Marcia Lee Kelly said in a press release. “The land of promise remains the United States of America, and with President Trump leading her people, we always will be.”

It will be available to livestream online via YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch. Amazon Prime Video will be livestreaming the 2020 RNC on a dedicated page, as well, with additional coverage available for Amazon Prime users.
