CLEVELAND, Ohio - The July 18 start for the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland is set to be earlier than any convention for either of the major parties since 1992, when the Democrats met in New York City to nominate Bill Clinton.

The Democrats have yet to announce a date and place for their convention, which will be held in Columbus, New York City or Philadelphia.
