Republican and vice president candidate JD Vance has taken to the stage at the Republican National Convention, appearing overwhelmed by the support of the gushing crowd.
“Greetings Milwaukee. My fellow Americans and my fellow Republicans. My name is JD Vance from the great state of Ohio,” Senator Vance said.
Chants of “JD, JD, JD,” took over the audio feed as Republicans celebrated their vice president hopeful.
“My friends, tonight is a night of hope,” Senator Vance said.
“A celebration of what America once was, and with God’s grace, what it will soon be again.
It is a reminder of the sacred duty we have to preserve the American experiment,to choose a new path for our children and grandchildren.
“But as we meet tonight, we cannot forget that this evening could have been so much different.
“Instead of a day of celebration, this could have been a day of heartache and mourning.
“For the last eight years, President Trump has given everything he has to fight for the people of our country.
“I want all Americans to go and watch the video of a would-be assassin coming a quarter of an inch from taking his life, consider the lies they told you about Donald Trump, and then look at that photo of him defiant, fist in the air, when Donald Trump rose to his feet in that Pennsylvania field.”
More to come….
