Hello, Milwaukee! I am J.D. Vance, proud to represent Ohio and the Republican Party. Tonight is a night of hope, celebrating the greatness of America and looking towards a bright future. President Trump has shown unwavering dedication to our country, even in the face of adversity. He is a strong leader who cares deeply for the American people.
I accept the nomination for Vice President with gratitude and a commitment to unity within our party. We may have differences, but they make us stronger. The Republican Party of the future will be united in our love for this country and our commitment to free speech and open debate.
I come from Middletown, Ohio, a town that has been forgotten by Washington’s ruling class. Joe Biden’s policies have hurt hardworking Americans, sending jobs overseas and causing economic struggles. President Trump has always put America first, and we need his leadership now more than ever.
I was fortunate to have a strong grandmother, Mamaw, who raised me and instilled in me a sense of pride and determination. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to serve in the Marines, attend college, and start businesses in communities like the one I grew up in.
There is still incredible talent and resilience in the American heartland, but we need a leader who will fight for the working people of this country. We need President Trump to stand up for American industry, reject harmful policies like the Green New Deal, and bring back our factories.
I am grateful for the opportunities I have had, but the most important part of the American dream is the ability to work hard and succeed. Let’s come together as a party, united in our love for this country and our commitment to preserving the American dream for future generations. Thank you.
