J.D. Vance Lays Out Hopeful Vision For America In RNC Speech

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) touched on the idea of an America left behind and neglected by a greedy elite — a theme that has come to define the Trump movement — during his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

“When I was in the fourth grade, a career politician by the name of Joe Biden supported NAFTA, a bad trade deal that sent countless good jobs to Mexico. When I was a sophomore in high school, that same career politician named Joe Biden gave China a sweetheart trade deal that destroyed even more good American middle-class manufacturing jobs,” Vance said.

“When I was a senior in high school, that same Joe Biden supported the disastrous invasion of Iraq. And at each step of the way, in small towns like mine in Ohio or next door in Pennsylvania or Michigan, in states all across our country, jobs were sent overseas and our children were sent to war.”

Senator Vance frequently recalled his upbringing in Appalachia — where he grew up in poverty while his mother struggled with addiction — throughout his address.

“But, my friends, things did not work out well for a lot of kids I grew up with. Every now and then, I will get a call from a relative back home who asks, did you know so-and-so? And I’ll remember a face from years ago, and then I’ll hear, they died of an overdose,” he said. “As always, America’s ruling class wrote the checks. Communities like mine paid the price.”

“For decades, that divide between the few with their power and comfort in Washington and the rest of us only widened. From Iraq to Afghanistan, from the financial crisis to the Great Recession, from open borders to stagnating wages, the people who govern this country have failed and failed again. That is, of course, until a guy named Donald J. Trump came along,” he continued.

“President Trump represents America’s last best hope to restore what, if lost, may never be found again. A country where a working class boy born far from the halls of power can stand on this A country where a working class boy born far from the halls of power can stand as the Vice President of the United States of America.”
