President Donald Trump will welcome various frontline workers to thank them “for their sacrifices and commitment” during the first night of the Republican National Convention on Monday, The Hill reports.

Trump, who is set to appear at the convention on each of its four nights, is set to meet with police officers, firefighters, nurses, truck and delivery drivers, and others on Monday, where he will thank them “for their sacrifices and commitment to keeping the American people safe, healthy and supplied,” according to a campaign official.

Monday night’s event will also include addresses from former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, and Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., among others.

Trump made his first appearance at the convention on Monday, shortly after he officially received enough delegates to secure the GOP nomination. In his remarks, he accused Democrats of “trying to steal the election from the Republicans” by increasing access to mail-in ballots due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"This is the most important election in the history of our country," Trump said, according to ABC. "This is the biggest."
