“I think you’ll be very excited and very surprised actually to see a lot of the people we’re going to have spoken at the convention this year,” she said Monday, according to WISN-TV.
“Look, this is a convention that really every single American should see themselves reflected in this convention. That is the goal, but I think you’ll also hear form unlikely people, celebrities who maybe you’ve never heard from who support Donald Trump and support conservative values and the Republican Party. They feel this is the time right now, it is important to come out and talk about that,” she said.
One convention speaker has already drawn controversy.
Teamsters International President Sean O’Brien is planning to speak but has been attacked by John Palmer, Teamsters vice president at large for making what Palmer called an “unconscionable” decision, according to The Guardian.
The Guardian said the speech would be the first by a Teamsters president at a GOP convention.
One Republican who will not be there is former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, according to NPR.
Haley was “not invited, and she’s fine with that. Trump deserves the convention he wants. She’s made it clear, she’s voting for him and wishes him the best,” Haley representative Chaney Denton said.
Haley, who received 97 delegates in the primary process, has released all her delegates, so they can vote for Donald Trump.
