Thursday, August 27 OnPolitics: Tonight Trump gets the last word After two weeks of political conventions, it's President Donald Trump who will turn out the lights after giving his speech. Republican speakers at this week's RNC have walked a line between trying to present an "uplifting" vision and unloading on Democrat Joe Biden. President Donald Trump's campaign signaled Thursday his remarks will focus on the second approach. Trump will formally accept his party's nomination from the White House in the 10 p.m. ET hour on Thursday, the final and most important event of the convention. Excerpts of the president's address released by the campaign on Thursday show Trump will try to paint Biden as a product of his party's far left-wing (despite the former vice president's longstanding reputation as hailing from the party's center).   "We have spent the last four years reversing the damage Joe Biden inflicted over the last 47 years. At the Democrat convention, you barely heard a word about their agenda," Trump will say, according to those excerpts. "But that's not because they don't have one. It's because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee."
