The Republican National Convention in Cleveland could be fully Trumped.
In an interview with Bloomberg’s Masters in Politics podcast, Donald Trump’s senior adviser Barry Bennett said the presumptive GOP nominee might speak every night of the convention.
Typically, the nominee’s acceptance speech is one of the last acts of a party’s convention. But Bennett said Trump may elect to speak each night from a different city.
“I think when it comes to the program a lot of us feel that we could juice up the format just a little,” Bennett told Masters in Politics. “More entertaining, more interesting. I don’t know why the candidate only speaks on acceptance night, why shouldn’t he speak every night from a different city? How come we are not doing broadcasts on Facebook or Google, why are we just relying on 45 minutes of network television time?”
Trump locked up his status as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee this week with a resounding victory in Indiana’s primary. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, his last two competitors, dropped out in the wake of the primary.
In the days following his win in Indiana, several top Republicans have said they won’t attend the convention in Cleveland. Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush both said they would not be involved in the process, as did former candidate and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Former presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham also said they wouldn’t attend the convention.
