Pence to Highlight Night 3 of Republican National Convention

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - U.S. Vice President Mike Pence highlights Wednesday's
   third night of the Republican National Convention with a speech from
   Baltimore's Fort McHenry.

   The schedule of speakers also includes Senators Marsha Blackburn and
   Joni Ernst, as well as Richard Grenell, the former acting director of
   national intelligence.

   Kellyanne Conway, one of President Donald Trump's top advisers from his
   2016 presidential campaign and throughout his time in the White House,
   is also set to speak days before stepping down from her position.

   On Tuesday night, first lady Melania Trump expressed sympathy for the
   hundreds of thousands of Americans affected by the coronavirus
   pandemic.

   "Since March, our lives have been changed drastically," the first lady
   said in a late- evening speech in the newly redesigned White House Rose
   Garden. "My deepest sympathy goes out to everyone who has lost a loved
   one. My prayers are with those who are ill or suffering.

   "I know many people are anxious and some feel helpless," she said. "I
   want you to know you are not alone."
