Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance made his national debut Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention, tying his personal story from “Hillbilly Elegy” to a call for the “Make America Great Again” agenda.
Vance spoke about his grandmother “Mamaw” and his mother Beverly, who struggled with drug addiction but has been sober for 10 years and was in attendance.
In his keynote speech, Vance criticized policies supported by President Biden and other Democrats, arguing that they have led to job losses and military conflicts for small towns in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and beyond. His speech set a different tone from the rest of the evening, which focused heavily on immigration, calling for stricter laws, and broadly on foreign policy.
