1. The Republican National Convention picks up steam today as the party officially nominates Donald Trump for president.
The convention's beginning was unconventional from the #nevertrump revolt, to Trump's WWE-style entrance as he introduced his wife, Melania Trump.
Trump said he was "very proud" of Melania, but a section of her speech appears to have been plagiarized from Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Today's focus now shifts to the economy as two of Trump's children, Tiffany and Donald Jr., plan to speak.
