What to Watch Wednesday Night
The highlight of Wednesday night is set to be twin speeches in primetime from Eric Trump, who will deliver a personal testimonial about his dad, and Mike Pence, who will use the opportunity to introduce himself to the American people. An unabashed conservative, Pence had most recently been in the news before his selection for a controversial religious freedom law in his home state of Indiana viewed as anti-LGBT. His speech will offer him the opportunity to try to move past that troubling time. All eyes will also be on Ted Cruz Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich will have his opportunity to show why he should have been selected as Trump's running mate. Third Eye Blind trolls Republicans.
