The second night of the RNC will feature a pair of unprecedented addresses from high-profile individuals.

One will come from First Lady Melania Trump, who is speaking from the Rose Garden at the White House. Monday's RNC proceedings featured two pre-recorded appearances from President Trump at the White House. No president in recent history has used the White House as a backdrop for partisan political purposes.

The other will come from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who will speak to the convention from Jerusalem. Critics say this speech will violate long-standing State Department policy of keeping politics out of foreign affairs as well as the Hatch Act, which “prohibits Federal employees from engaging in political activities while on duty."

Follow along at 8:30 p.m. ET for live updates, commentary and analysis from the Spectrum News political team — Josh Robin, Bob Hardt, Tim Boyum, Alex Cohen, Em Nguyen, Emily Ngo, Jeevan Vittal, Nick Reisman, Ybeth Bruzual, and Karina Kling— of the opening night of the Republican National Convention.
