The Republican National Convention (RNC) is a gathering of members of the Republican Party in the United States. It typically occurs every four years and serves as a platform for the party to nominate its candidate for the Presidency. Delegates from each state come together to discuss party policies, adopt a party platform, and rally support for their chosen candidate. During the convention, speeches are made by prominent party figures, including the nominated candidate and other leaders. The event is also an opportunity to unite party members and energize supporters ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
