When President Donald Trump ends his nomination acceptance speech on the South Lawn of the White House next week, Washington, D.C.’s sky might be illuminated with fireworks.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) submitted an application to set off fireworks by the Washington Monument once Trump concludes his speech, a request that’s still pending, according to Mike Litterst chief of communications for the National Park Service.

The agency received the inquiry last Friday. The application details that the fireworks would take place around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 27, which is the same night Trump will be giving his acceptance speech for the Republican presidential nomination. The RNC also noted that protesters could make an appearance at the event.

Trump was supposed to accept the nomination in Charlotte, N.C., a location that later changed to Jacksonville, Fla. because of coronavirus concerns. But, Florida became a hotspot for the virus, and the president and his campaign decided to choose a safer location.

Trump then speculated between speaking at the White House or at the battlefield in Gettysburg. 

"I’ll probably be giving my speech at the White House because it is a great place. It’s a place that makes me feel good, it makes the country feel good,” Trump confirmed to the New York Post last week, squashing all controversy about holding the speech at Gettysburg.

“We’d do it possibly outside on one of the lawns, we have various lawns, so we could have it outside in terms of the China virus,” Trump added, noting the crowd will be socially-distanced.

“We could have quite a group of people. It’s very big, a very big lawn. We could have a big group of people,” the president said.

Several lawmakers from both parties, however, believe using the White House as the spot for giving the speech could go against the Hatch Act, which prohibits government employees to participate or host campaign activity on federal property. Even though the president and vice president are exempt from this rule, White House staffers are not.

The convention will run from Aug. 24 to 27.
