President Donald Trump will cap the 2020 Republican Convention on Thursday night by outlining his vision for a second term in the White House. 

After the coronavirus derailed the party’s plans to hold the convention in a packed arena in Jacksonville, Florida, the president will deliver closing remarks from his official residence. It’s just the latest instance of the GOP blurring campaign and official business over the four-day event. Trump showcased government powers throughout the week in made-for-TV political moments including a pardon and naturalization ceremony.

Thursday night’s events start at 8:30 p.m. ET. CNBC.com will livestream the convention.

C-SPAN, CNN, MSNBC and PBS will show the full 2½ hours. Fox News, CBS, ABC and NBC will show the 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. hour.
