Schedule of the 2020 Republican National Convention

The 2020 Republican National Convention was held August 24–27, 2020. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was staged without an audience for most of its program, and with many components having been pre-recorded. The convention was preceded by pre-convention meetings. The convention opened on August 24 with an in-person morning session in Charlotte, North Carolina. The remainder of the convention, beginning that evening, consisted of evening sessions centered primarily in Washington, D.C.

Pre-convention meetings

Committee on Platform

Rather than adopting a new party platform,[1] uniquely the Republicans decided simply to recycle their 2016 party platform,[2][3] including several references to the "current president" and attacks on "the administration" (which in 2016 referred to Barack Obama and the Obama administration).[4] The decision was criticized by Republican activists.[5] In a tweet, Trump said that he would "prefer a new and updated platform, short form, if possible."[6]

The RNC did not do this, just issuing a one-page document stating opposition to the "Obama/Biden administration" and supporting President Trump's instead.[7][8]

Republican National Committee meetings

The Republican National Committee had its semi-annual meeting from August 21 to 23.[9] It was closed to the press.[10][11]

The convention, as originally planned to be held in Charlotte, was initially anticipated to attract 50,000 visitors to the city.[12]

The ultimate format of the convention had much of its content be prerecorded.[13][14]

The official business of the 2020 Republican National Convention, including the formal nominations of President Trump and Vice President Pence, was held in Charlotte, North Carolina.[16][11][17]

The 336 delegates met in the morning from 9 a.m. EDT,[18][19] after which the committee reports were read and voted on.

The business meeting also included votes on nomination. Scott Walker placed Pence's name in nomination.[20][21] Pence was nominated by voice vote. This was the first time the vice-presidential nomination came first. Michael Whatley,[22] the chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, placed the president's name in nomination and Florida state senator Joe Gruters seconded the nomination. This was followed by the traditional roll-call of the states.[23]

The roll-call was interrupted by addresses from Walker, Vice President Pence, and President Trump himself, who spoke over an hour.[24] All of them addressed the crowd in-person, having flown to Charlotte.[25]

Washington, D.C.: August 24–27

After the formal business of the convention in Charlotte concluded, the convention moved to Washington, D.C.. Further convention programming (including speeches and entertainment) was conducted in the nation's capital city, as well as several remote locations outside of D.C.[32] In D.C., production for four nights of prime time convention programming was anchored at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., where most speeches were filmed.[28] However, various components of the convention were filmed elsewhere, including at locations outside of Washington, D.C.

Most speeches were pre-taped.[33]

At events with in-person audiences, such as First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President Mike Pence's speeches, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-recommended practices of protective masks and social distancing were largely absent.[34]
