What is the Republican National Convention?
The Republican National Convention is an event held every four years in the United States for the purpose of nominating and confirming the Republican candidates for President and Vice President. It is usually held in late August or early September, approximately two months before the Presidential Election in November, and it marks the end of the Republican primary season and the start of the general campaign. Each year, a new site is chosen for the Republican National Convention; organizers tend to favor Republican strongholds.
