Trump Takes Center Stage at GOP Conventions in North Carolina and Georgia

Donald Trump has been given the prime time slot at the North Carolina GOP convention this weekend, followed by Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis, who was assigned the worst time slot. DeSantis, who officially entered the 2024 presidential race last month, has emerged as the clear No. 2 in the Republican race, but his campaign launch on Twitter Space was plagued with glitches and technical difficulties. Trump remains the main attraction and prohibitive favorite to take the presidential nomination, according to experts. Other Republican candidates who have declared their candidacy for 2024 have not been listed as speakers at the convention.
