RNC Day 4: Trump delivers longest acceptance speech in history

Rev. Franklin Graham, the influential evangelist preacher who is scheduled to speak at the convention Thursday night, talked with ABC News Live hours before he is set to take the stage.

Graham spoke about Trump's changed stance on abortion that would leave the matter up to the states.

"President Trump ... has a very difficult position because he has to represent all Americans and that includes people who have different views," said Graham, who is publicly anti-abortion.

"I believe President Trump had Roe v. Wade defeated," Graham added. "No other president has been able to do that."

When asked about his support for Trump after he became a convicted felon, his ties to a porn star or his offensive remarks, Graham responded, "Donald J. Trump has made many mistakes in his life, and I'm sure he regrets, many of them ... all of them."

"But at the same time, I look at his policies and what they do for America ... and so I believe that Donald J. Trump can ... help get this country's economy back," he added.

Graham is the son of influential evangelist Billy Graham, who died in 2018.

This week, thousands of Trump's biggest supporters are gathered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to see him accept the party's nomination for president. In their eyes, Trump's done -- and likely can't do -- any wrong.

Two dozen convention-goers who spoke with ABC News Digital, including delegates and guests, said Trump's historic conviction on 34 felony counts gave them no reservations about backing him this election cycle.

"We have 54 in our delegation, and we have T-shirts that we're all going to be wearing that's like, 'The year of the felon.' We're good. We're voting for the felon," said Barbara Jernigan, an alternate delegate from Missouri.

Retired wrestling star Hulk Hogan is slated to speak Thursday night at the Republican National Convention ahead of President Donald Trump's historic remarks accepting his party's nomination for president after facing an assassination attempt.

He is just one of several members of the wrestling world expected to speak on the convention's final day, including Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White, according to a person familiar with the schedule who spoke on the condition of anonymity before the schedule's official release.

Earlier this week, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds compared Trump's return to the RNC stage after the assassination attempt to "Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania."

The 1980s wrestling icon has occasionally tossed around political aspirations after he retired from wrestling in 2012, including telling Fox News last month that he'd consider entering politics.

Illinois Republicans gathered for the last breakfast of the convention brimming with excitement and optimism as they look forward to what former President Donald Trump will say to close out the convention on Thursday.

During their breakfast, two congressmen called for Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to be replaced.

"I was on a call yesterday with Speaker Johnson. It's unacceptable what the Secret Service didn't do on Saturday. I've called for the Secret Service Director to step down. I think it's unacceptable," Rep. Darin LaHood (R-IL), said.

Representative Mike Bost (R-IL) added that it's not only about what happened to Trump, but what failed at that rally.

"We also need to know in the future that never happens again," Bost said.
