Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance is set to introduce himself to a national audience as he addresses the Republican National Convention on Wednesday.
This will be the US Senator's first speech as the Republican vice-presidential nominee.
Vance, 39,and a one-term senator is positioned to become the next potential leader of the former president’s political movement, which has reshaped the Republican Party and busted many long time political norms.

Trump picked the Ohio conservative to be his number two at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday as the ex-president bids for a stunning return to the White House, four years after losing to President Joe Biden.
Vance was formally a severe critic of Trump in 2016, labelling the tycoon a “moral disaster” and comparing him to Adolf Hitler but later became an aggressive defender when he entered politics and consequently won the former president’s endorsement in the 2022 Ohio Senate race.
“I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. But President Trump was a great president, and he changed my mind,”“I think he changed the minds of a lot of Americans because again he delivered that peace and prosperity,” Vance told Fox News on Monday.
Trump, as the presidential nominee, is expected to speak this Thursday, the convention's final night
