Republicans made their pitch to voters at a national convention that was anything but conventional.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, most of this week's prime-time speeches were delivered from a largely empty auditorium in Washington, DC. Like the Democratic convention last week, many segments were pre-recorded from locations around the country.
President Donald Trump delivered his nomination acceptance speech from the White House on Thursday.
"I stand before you tonight honored by your support, proud of the extraordinary progress we have made together over the last four incredible years, and brimming with confidence in the bright future we will build for America over the next four years," Trump said.

Pence used a portion of his remarks to deliver a pro-police "law and order" message. "Let me be clear: the violence must stop, whether in Minneapolis, Portland, or Kenosha." He said he and Trump "will always support the right of Americans to peaceful protest, but rioting and looting is not peaceful protest. Tearing down statues is not free speech. Those who do so will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

Conway announced Sunday that she would be leaving the White House at the end of the month.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, speaking from a hotel rooftop in Jerusalem, sought to cast Trump as the ultimate dealmaker. Pompeo's location highlighted a recent agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates to normalize relations that Trump helped broker. Pompeo's remarks break with past precedent of secretaries of state not addressing political conventions. There is also a long-standing protocol of not discussing domestic politics while abroad.

"It's not so easy. You went through a lot, and we appreciate you being here with us today."

They've actually charged us with felonies for daring to defend our home," Mark McCloskey said.
