Republican convention live: Melania, Eric and Tiffany Trump speak

Everyone at the Republican convention has been avoiding the same, awkward subject. But today, Melania Trump tackled it head-on.

Welcome back to our live coverage of the Republican National Convention in the United States.

It's day two, and that means one thing - a veritable deluge of Trumps. President Donald Trump's wife Melania, son Eric and daughter Tiffany are all speaking today.

We will also hear from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Senator Rand Paul, former Florida attorney-general Pam Bondi and a bunch of lesser known politicians.

And in one of the weirder cameos, Nicholas Sandmann has been invited to speak. You will remember him as the high school student from Covington, Kentucky who was filmed wearing a MAGA cap and smirking at a Native American activist during a protest last year. He sued several media outlets for defamation in response to their coverage of the face-off, and reached a few confidential settlements.

This convention, of course, is one of the biggest chances Mr Trump will get to convince voters they should re-elect him before polling day on November 3. It will culminate in his acceptance speech from the White House on Friday AEST.

If you missed yesterday's action, worry not. You can catch up with our wrap of day one.
