The Republican National Convention kicked off Monday in Cleveland, and 36 of Alabama’s delegates are bound to support Donald Trump as the presidential nominee on a first ballot.
The delegates — 50 total from the Yellowhammer State — are a mix of party officials and elected officials as well as rank-and-file Republicans. The Republican National Convention runs July 18-21 and Trump is slated to be named the Republican nominee.
In the wake of police violence across the nation, Alabama’s delegation will wear blue ribbons in support of law enforcement. Many delegates, as well as attendees from across the state, are hopeful Trump will address national unity in his Thursday night acceptance speech.
Among those attending is Alabama Today Publisher and Vice President of the 60 Plus Foundation, Apryl Marie Fogel.
“I believe the only message that’s going to resonate across the board for all Americans regardless of party is one of unity,” Fogel said to AL.com. “We have to face the troubles we come across as a nation together … be it the safety of law enforcement or Black Lives Matter protesters and supporters. Americans have to tackle these tough conventions together in a way that doesn’t alienate one another.”
While not centerstage, Alabama’s delegates have a prime seating spot at the Convention, situated front and center directly to the left of the convention stage with an unobstructed view of the stage.
