Republicans' Meeting - Trump mentions new vice-president only briefly in his party speech
The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump barely mentioned his vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance during the closing speech of the convention in Milwaukee. In his approximately one and a half hour-long speech at the Wisconsin state convention, Trump only briefly acknowledged the senator who will now campaign with him.
"I'm very happy to have a new friend and partner by my side who will fight with me," Trump said. "He will be an excellent vice president." The 39-year-old will be by his side for a long time, Trump added, "and it was an honor to choose him." Vance was an excellent student at the elite Yale University, as was his wife Usha, Trump noted before moving on to the next topic.
Trump announced at the beginning of the convention that he had chosen Vance as his vice-presidential candidate. The bestselling author and lawyer was officially nominated on Monday and gave his first speech in his new role on Wednesday evening (local time). Vance presented himself as a man coming from humble backgrounds and focused mainly on the working class in the so-called Swing States. These are the states that are particularly contested in elections.
