“I want to respond to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call for unity in America.”
On the third day of the Republican National Convention, on the 17th (local time), at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when Senator JD Vance (Ohio) officially accepted Trump’s vice presidential nomination, the delegates who filled the convention hall chanted “JD.” JD is an abbreviation for James David.
Vice Presidential candidate Vance, who took the stage to the background music of “America First” sung by country music legend Merle Haggard, presented “America First” as his vision in his speech, just like candidate Trump.
Vice Presidential candidate Vance laid out his 13 America First policies, saying, “We will put all Americans first.” His economic plan included not importing foreign labor and getting energy from the United States.
In the area of diplomacy, he emphasized isolationism, such as increasing cost sharing for allies and minimizing US military intervention. He said, “We will make allies share the burden of protecting world peace,” and “There will be no more free-riding by countries that betray the generosity of American taxpayers.”
He also said, “We will send America’s children to war only when absolutely necessary,” and “When we hit the enemy, we will hit hard.” He pledged to bring an early end to the war in Ukraine and the war in Gaza, and he meant to minimize intervention in international conflicts. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) commented, “Vance’s speech contained an excessive amount of populism.”
Vice presidential candidate Vance, who gained attention for his autobiography “Hillbilly Elegy,” which tells the story of overcoming a difficult family environment, also used his own upbringing to criticize President Joe Biden. He said, “When I was in the fourth grade, Biden supported the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and sent good jobs to Mexico, and when I was in the second year of high school, he destroyed middle-class manufacturing jobs by offering sweet trade deals to China.”
Usha Vance, wife of Vice Presidential candidate Vance, also spoke at the event. “It’s hard to imagine a more powerful example of the American dream than a boy from Middletown, Ohio,” said Usha, who is from an Indian immigrant family. Vance’s mother, who overcame alcoholism, also watched Vance speak at the convention.
