Diverse Lineup of Speakers Announced for Trump's 2024 RNC: Ivanka, Potential VPs, Immigrants, and Black Americans

The Republican National Convention (RNC) is set to feature a diverse lineup of speakers, including everyday Americans and high-profile figures, as the party rallies support for former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid. The convention will take place from July 18 to July 21 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

One of the most anticipated speakers is Ivanka Trump, the former president's daughter and a prominent figure within the Republican Party. Other family members scheduled to speak include Eric Trump and Lara Trump. Melania Trump, however, has not been announced as a speaker at this time.

Trump's potential vice presidential candidates are also expected to address the convention audience. These include Senators JD Vance (R-OH), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. Other speakers include venture capitalist David Sacks, investors Steve and Zach Witkoff, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Tucker Carlson, Savannah Chrisley, rapper Amber Rose, and UFC President Dana White.

The RNC will also feature a number of immigrants and Black Americans as speakers in an effort to reach out to these groups. Some notable speakers include Robert Bartles Jr., Annette Albright, Michael Morin, Linda Fornos, Jim Chilton, David Bellavia, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The Milwaukee convention is expected to be a more fervent rally of Trump fanfare than previous years due to the former president's grip on the 2024 Republican Party. Despite this excitement, Trump faces challenges as he is under indictment in multiple lawsuits and some witnesses and alleged co-conspirators related to these cases will be in attendance at the RNC.

  • Deception (50%)
    The article engages in selective reporting by focusing on the celebrities who are speaking at the Republican National Convention and their support for former President Trump, while omitting any mention of celebrities or influencers who may be speaking at the Democratic National Convention. This creates a biased and one-sided representation of events.
    • The inclusion of Chrisley comes as she has begun to dedicate more of her time advocating for criminal justice reform as her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, serve time in jail.
    • UFC President Dana White, a campaign official confirmed. The two have a close and long-lasting relationship as the former president, an avid UFC fan, often attends fights sitting ringside along White and other celebrities.
    • Rapper and model Amber Rose is also slated to speak in Milwaukee.
  • Fallacies (80%)
    The article contains several informal fallacies and an appeal to authority. The author uses the phrase 'pop culture allies' to describe the celebrities supporting Trump, implying that they are not legitimate supporters. This is a hasty generalization as it assumes all celebrities endorsing Trump are only doing so for popularity or fame, rather than genuine belief. Additionally, the author states that Todd and Julie Chrisley 'began their sentences in January 2023' when in fact they began serving their sentences in 2023. This is a false statement and an example of misrepresentation. Furthermore, the article mentions that several celebrities have joined Trump on the campaign trail, including rappers Sheriff G and Sleepy Hallow who have been indicted for alleged murder conspiracy. The author does not mention that they have pleaded not guilty, which is important context to include when reporting on criminal charges. Lastly, the article states that 'UFC President Dana White has a close and long-lasting relationship with Trump' and 'most recently, White helped Trump launch his TikTok account'. These statements are examples of an appeal to authority as they suggest that Dana White's relationship with Trump and his help in launching the TikTok account lends credibility to Trump. However, this does not necessarily mean that Dana White's endorsement or assistance makes Trump a more credible or trustworthy candidate.

    • The author states that Todd and Julie Chrisley 'began their sentences in January 2023' when in fact they began serving their sentences in 2023.
    • Several celebrities have joined Trump on the campaign trail, including at a rally in the South Bronx where two rappers, Sheriff G and Sleepy Hallow, were invited up on stage. The author does not mention that they have pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
  • Bias (95%)
    The article reports on the Republican National Convention inviting celebrities to speak, specifically mentioning Savannah Chrisley, Amber Rose, and Dana White. While not explicitly stating bias towards any political party or ideology in the text provided by the author of ABC News, there is a disproportionate number of quotes from individuals who are known for their support of Republican candidates or conservative views. This includes Savannah Chrisley's advocacy for criminal justice reform and her parents' legal issues, Amber Rose's endorsement of Trump on social media, and Dana White's close relationship with Trump. Additionally, the article mentions Todd Chrisley serving time in jail for fraud and tax evasion charges. This information is not presented as fact but rather as context to explain why Savannah Chrisley is speaking at the convention.

                • Deception (50%)
                  The article contains selective reporting as it only mentions speakers who will be supporting Trump at the convention and implies that they were previously Democrats or had criticized Democrats. It also uses emotional manipulation by describing the murder of Rachel Morin and implying that Biden's border policies are responsible for her death.
                  • Immigration will be front and center at the convention across multiple speeches, including one by Michael Morin, the brother of Rachel Morin...Trump has stayed in touch with the family and has cited Morin’s story in his speeches decrying Biden’s border policies.

                  • Republicans will lean on a lineup of lesser-known speakers to drive home themes and narratives along with elected officials and former President Donald Trump at next week’s Republican National Convention...Many of the speakers will argue that President Joe Biden is responsible for challenges they have faced, including the impact of the fentanyl crisis, economic hardship and domestic divisions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
                • Fallacies (95%)
                  The article contains several instances of Appeals to Authority and Dichotomous Depictions. The author uses the fact that some speakers are former Democrats or have criticized Democrats in the past as evidence that they will now support Trump, implying that their previous political affiliation makes their current stance more valid. This is a fallacious appeal to authority based on personal background rather than qualifications or expertise. Additionally, the article dichotomously depicts these speakers as either former Democrats who have seen the error of their ways and now support Trump or as victims of Biden's policies, ignoring any complexity in their motivations or reasons for speaking at the convention. No explicit fallacious arguments are made by the author regarding the content of the speeches themselves.
