Virtual RNC attendance hasn't reduced enthusiasm for these GOP delegates

When President Trump was officially renominated by the Republican Party on Monday, only 336 delegates were in the room. Most of the 2,500 people who had hoped to attend in person were instead watching from home. But their virtual participation didn’t mean they were any less excited about the GOP ticket. The NewsHour heard from a few of them before the Republican National Convention began.
