A partially virtual Republican National Convention continues Tuesday under the theme "Land of Opportunity" where President Donald Trump will make another appearance, promising to each night, as speakers are expected to tout his first-term contributions and paint a dark picture of America under the Democratic nominee Joe Biden. First Lady Melania Trump, who takes a softer approach to politics than her husband, will headline Tuesday's program with remarks from the historic and freshly-renovated White House Rose Garden -- four years after her first big GOP speech was criticized for striking similarities to Michelle Obama's 2008 convention address. While he is in Jerusalem on an official trip, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is also slated to speak -- making him the first sitting secretary of state to deliver a speech to a party's political convention in modern times -- despite backlash from critics who say that he's blurring the lines between personal politics and public service.
