JD Vance to Give First Speech as VP Nominee at RNC Day 3

Excitement is building as Sen. JD Vance prepares to deliver his first speech as the Republican vice-presidential nominee on the third night of the Republican National Convention. With a spotlight on foreign policy, Vance’s address is eagerly anticipated by Republicans across the nation.

At just 39 years old, Vance has quickly risen to prominence on the national stage. Elected to the Senate in 2022, his 2016 book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” surged to the top of the Amazon bestseller list following former President Donald Trump’s announcement of his selection.

Vance’s perspective on various issues has gained attention since his nomination. In a recent interview on “Face the Nation,” he expressed admiration for some of the policies of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, particularly in relation to addressing what he perceives as left-wing bias in American universities. At the Munich Security Conference, Vance also suggested a reevaluation of U.S. assistance to Ukraine.

Against the backdrop of a tumultuous political landscape, the Republican National Convention unfolds during a historic week. Calls for President Biden to step aside for the Democratic nomination have intensified, with Rep. Adam Schiff of California, a key ally of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, joining the chorus of voices urging Mr. Biden’s withdrawal.

Adding to the intensity of the political climate, both campaigns are grappling with the aftermath of a recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. Though Trump emerged with only a minor injury, the gunman was swiftly neutralized by law enforcement. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, with one bystander losing their life and two others recovering from critical injuries.

In a remarkable display of resilience, Trump made a public appearance on the opening night of the RNC, underscoring the enduring spirit of his candidacy.

Stay tuned for live updates as RNC Day 3 unfolds, showcasing the dynamic discourse and unfolding developments within the Republican Party.
