How to watch the Republican National Convention: Day 4

Here’s what to know about the final day of the 2020 Republican National Convention.

Thursday is the fourth and final day of the Republican National Convention (RNC), and there’s a lot in store for the night, including a speech from President Donald Trump. 

Here’s everything you need to know about Thursday night’s programming, including how to watch the Republican National Convention online.

The RNC wraps up today, Thursday, Aug. 27. The main programming runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. PT. 

While Monday’s portion of the convention was partially held in Charlotte, North Carolina, the rest of the convention takes place virtually, with speakers mostly appearing from various parts of Washington, D.C. 

You can watch Thursday night’s broadcast of the Republican National Convention on networks like C-SPAN, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News, and more. The convention will also be streamed live on the RNC’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

The major theme of the 2020 RNC is “Honoring the Great American Story.” Each day of the convention features a different topic within the week’s focus. Monday’s theme was “Land of Promise,” Tuesday’s was “Land of Opportunity,” and Wednesday’s was “Land of Heroes.” Thursday’s theme is “Land of Greatness.” 

Thursday’s lineup includes Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Ivanka Trump, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Alice Johnson, a woman whose prison sentence was commuted by Trump. Trump will formally accept the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday night from the White House. 

Musical performances haven’t been announced yet for the RNC’s fourth day. We will update this guide once they are announced.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.

The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.

What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
