Milwaukee, Jul 17 (PTI): Indian Americans and former presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy will address the Republican National Convention here.
Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and former US Ambassador to the United Nations, was a presidential candidate in the Republican primary and was the last one to suspend her campaign.
Millionaire entrepreneur-turned-politician Ramaswamy has seen a meteoric rise in the Republican party. He is now considered as one of the close confidant of the former president Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee.
This would be the first time that Ramaswamy would be speaking at the Republican National Convention, while Haley has addressed the RNC multiple times including in 2016, 2020.
Sources familiar with the RNC said that Ramaswamy is scheduled to speak first on Tuesday night in the 7:30-8:00 pm local time slot in the list of two other speakers. Haley has been placed third in the list of four speakers in the next slot of 8-8.30 pm local time.
The evening would conclude with remarks by Senator Marco Rubio and Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
Donald Trump is expected to make another appearance Tuesday night before and is expected to stay in the last one hour of the RNC events. PTI LKJ SCY SCY
