Tonight is the grand finale of the RNC in Milwaukee.
Former President Donald Trump will formally accept the GOP nomination.
He has said his speech will focus on unity after
last weekend's assassination attempt.
Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on President Biden to drop out
of the race as he battles COVID-19.
NB CS Alice Barr has the latest from Milwaukee, the
final night of the Republican National Convention building to former
President Trump's big speech at a pivotal moment in history.
The former president will take the stage just five days
after the attempted assassination against a backdrop of strong party
unity.
It's just such an honor to be on the ticket
with him.
It's such an honor to stand with him after what
happened last Saturday.
While Democrats are in turmoil with President Biden isolating with
what the White House is calling a mild case of
COVID.
Sources this is close to the president tell NBC News
Biden World is bracing for the possibility that he may
drop out of the race amid heightened pressure from top
Democrats and cratering fundraising.
The Washington Post and The Associated Press now reporting that
former President Obama has privately told allies the president needs
to seriously consider whether he can win.
There are no plans being made to replace President Biden
on the ballot.
And President Biden is cognizant this is a Marja Vera
race.
The CNN is citing multiple sources in reporting that former
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told Mr.
Biden polling shows he cannot beat Donald Trump and that
the president could keep Democrats from winning the House.
While President Biden is publicly forging ahead, Trump allies insist
he can beat anyone Democrats put up.
We are at a time of very divisive politics.
Do you believe that Donald Trump can unify not just
the party, but the country?
I do.
I, you know, the common term of reaching across the
aisle.
I think he's learned a lot.
Tonight, the country will learn more about the former president's
vision for another term in office.
Former first lady Melania Trump, who has been largely absent
from the campaign trail, will be here for the final
night of the convention, along with the former president's daughter,
Ivanka Trump in Milwaukee.
Alice Bar, NBC News.
Alice, thank you.
I'm Margaret Cahill is standing by live from outside Pfizer
forum tonight.
She spoke with Donald Trump junior as well as former

Margaret, thanks, Nina.
This Republican National Convention comes just days after the attempted
assassination of former President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania
Tonight, he's expected to address the nation.
The question is, will his speech be toned down after
the events of this weekend or not?
I spoke with party leaders about what they're expecting to
see.
Good evening, America.
Donald Trump junior spoke at the convention Wednesday night, and
I asked him what his thoughts are ahead of his
father's speech.
Do you expect your father to tone down his rhetoric
tonight in light of recent events?
Well, I worked on the speech with him on Friday,
the original speech, and I know that's been thrown in
the waste paper basket, so I imagine so.
Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker says he expects the former
president to still be forceful but focused on the policies.
Do you think the former president will tone down his
rhetoric at all tonight in light of recent events?
One thing, it's going to be a combination.
I think it'll be somewhat reflective.
I certainly hope and think he'll talk about the emotions
that went through his mind Saturday and thinking about not
only his country, but his family, particularly his grandkids as
you saw him with last night.
But at the same time, I don't expect him to
stop being a fighter.
In a one-on-one interview with Republican candidate for Senate Eric
Hubbie, Hubbie echoed calls for unity.
I have been talking about from the my day of
my announcement and I've been staying on the scene.
And if you recall, I ran a television ad over
the 4th of July talking about we've become too divided
as a country.
In a statement to NBC26A spokesperson for Democratic Senator from
Wisconsin, Tammy Baldwin, it said, quote, after the horrific attack
on President Trump, Tammy Baldwin believes we have to stop
the finger pointing, come together and assert that there is
no place for violence in our politics.
Still ahead at six, I speak with hubby about Trump's
speech.
What do you think of recent polls and what this
all means for Wisconsin in Milwaukee?
I'm Margaret Cahill, NBC 26.
Margaret, thank you.
And be sure to stay up to date with the
RNC later tonight on TV 32 from 7 to 8
and right here on NBC 26 from 8 until 10.
All right, let's get to weather now.
Once again, a lot of sunshine.
Just another beautiful summer day outside.
I'll send it over to chief meteorologist Cameron Moreland.
Nina, probably one of the nicest days of the entire
year.
We had blue skies, bright sunshine, some Fairweather cumulus clouds
and comfortable temperature and humidity levels.
Right now in Green Bay, it is 79.
In Appleton, we're looking at 77.
Closer to the lake with an easterly breeze.
It is a little bit cooler, but beautiful.
69 in Manitowoc, 69° as well in Sturgeon Bay.
Your forecast for this evening calls for mostly sunny skies
until the sun goes down at 8:32.
Once that happens, temperatures will fall from the 70s into
the 60s.
Now, tomorrow is the warmest day of the entire year.
How do I already know that?
What am I forecasting?
I'll have that coming up.
