Donald Trump will on Thursday do something virually no one (but, perhaps, himself) ever imagined: He will accept the Republican nomination for president of the United States.
What Trump will say is anyone's guess; what he needs to say is how he will work to unify the most divided GOP in years.
Also taking to the podium tonight is Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the RNC, and Ivanka Trump, the candidate's daughter, who will introduce him.
Here's a guide to Thursday's coverage of the last day of the Republican convention.
