    The 2024 Republican National Convention resumes for its third day Wednesday after a slew of notable GOP leaders took the stage Tuesday to call on Americans to grant former President Donald Trump another term in office.

    Some of Trump's most vocal allies, including Sen. Ted Cruz , R-Texas, and some of his primary rivals, like Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis , took the stage Tuesday to slam President Joe Biden for his handling of safety issues including crime and border security, as well as his handling of the opioid epidemic.

    On Monday, Trump announced Sen. JD Vance , R-Ohio, as his running mate, and he was formally nominated.

    The 2024 Republican National Convention continues Wednesday through Thursday.

    Here's a list of everyone who has already spoken, followed by a list of everyone who is expected to speak the rest of the week.
