Republican Vice Candidate Honors Trump Before Important Speech

In remarks made on Wednesday, J.D. Vance criticized President Joe Biden, attacked the media, and praised Donald Trump’s guts in the run-up to his acceptance of the party’s vice presidential selection.

Speaking on the fringes of the Republican National Convention, the US senator praised Trump’s response to the gunman’s attempt on his life over the weekend in Pennsylvania. This was the senator’s first appearance as Trump’s running mate.

“On Saturday, we witnessed the striking contrast between the false narrative perpetuated by the media about President Trump and the person that we all genuinely know,” Vance stated to the Milwaukee crowd.

When Trump was forced to hit the stage floor at the Butler rally by a barrage of gunfire, Vance claimed he was “terrified that we had just lost a great president.”

And naturally, a minute after they actually shot him, he gets to his feet and exclaims, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” while raising his fist in the air.

Vance, who was viewed by his detractors as a conspiratorial, polarizing firebrand, didn’t clarify who he meant when he used the term “they,” but he quickly laid responsibility on Democrats in the wake of the assault.

While they look into the identity of the deceased attacker, the authorities have not provided any indication as to why the shooting occurred or that anyone else was involved.

“Let’s remove him.”
The 39-year-old Vance used the occasion to promote the Trump brand, describing it as “synonymous with luxury and with beauty in the real estate world.”

Additionally, he made a comparison between inflation under “Fake Scranton Joe Biden” and the economy under “real president Donald Trump,” claiming that under the Democrat, “the basic trappings of middle class life have become less and less attainable.”

He declared, “Let’s get rid of him and get Donald Trump back in the White House.”

Later on Wednesday, Vance was scheduled to take center stage at the convention as Trump makes a surprise run for the presidency four years after losing to Biden.

If the 78-year-old Trump defeats Biden in November, the senator serving one term will become the third-youngest and least experienced vice president in history.

The manner the best-selling author discusses Trump contrasts sharply with the animosity he expressed when on a 2016 book tour of television studios.

When his new employer was elected, Vance was an unwavering “Never Trumper,” calling the hard-right businessman “a moral disaster” and drawing comparisons between him and Adolf Hitler.

When he entered politics and received Trump’s support in the Ohio Senate election of 2022, he completely changed who he was.

Since then, Vance has developed into Trump’s principal apologist for his divisive foreign policy and anti-immigrant rhetoric, particularly his hostility to US backing for Ukraine’s fight against Russian invasion.

modest upbringing
Although he gained notoriety in 2016 for his best-selling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” which detailed his life in the poor Rust Belt and his Appalachian family, Vance is still something of an unknown figure to the general public.

He is scheduled to give a speech at 9:30 p.m. (0230 GMT) for approximately thirty minutes. It is anticipated that the address would mostly focus on his biography and how his experiences relate to those of regular Americans.

Vance, who is already well-liked by Milwaukee partygoers, received a wild round of applause as he and his spouse Usha entered the convention floor on Monday. Usha is scheduled to speak right before Vance.

Over 50,000 Republicans have gathered for the four-day convention on the shores of Lake Michigan. The main focus of the proceedings has been the Pennsylvania shooting, which left the former president with a bloodied ear and killed one bystander.

The focus of the convention has been on maintaining party unity behind Trump, putting an end to the barrage of scandals that stem from his involvement in efforts to rig the 2020 election to his criminal conviction this May in a New York court.
