John McCain says in an address to the nation that it’s important to forget party politics and stand together as a nation, so he’s canceling the majority of the RNC’s opening night activities except those that are “absolutely necessary.”
One of the activities that is absolutely necessary includes having a quorum to legally convene and constitute the convention. That process will begin at 3:00pm and last until 5:30pm, which means all nighttime activities such as speeches are canceled.
Keep in mind this change in agenda applies only to Monday night.
