 And the third thing you need to know before the Republican National Conference begins on Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. President Trump has said he will probably announce his vice presidential pick, but so far he has not named names. The convention will be historic since it will be the first time since 1940 that a major political party will nominate the same presidential candidate three consecutive times. Members of the Trump family are expected to speak at the convention, including Don Jr. and former First Lady Melania Trump.
