Former President Donald Trump's Vice President pick, JD Vance, and his wife, Usha, are set to address the third night of the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee. The theme for the night is "Make America Strong Once Again," with a focus on foreign affairs and border security.
Vance, a first-term senator from Ohio, was announced as Trump's running mate earlier this week. His selection was widely praised by Republicans, who see him as a strong advocate for conservative values and a powerful voice for the party's agenda.
The third night of the convention will feature some of the party's biggest names, including former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich and his wife, Callista Gingrich, who served as ambassador to the Holy See. Other speakers include Peter Navarro, former director of the U.S. Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, and Thomas Homan, former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The GOP's platform for the night includes planks on energy independence, restoring peace in Europe, and boosting military spending. The party is calling for an overhaul of U.S. foreign policy, with a focus on domestic production of energy and reducing dependence on foreign sources of fuel.
The convention will also feature a performance by country music artist Brian Kelley and the Holy Redeemer Church of God in Christ Choir. The third night of the convention is set to get underway around 5:45 p.m. CT, with speeches running through 10 p.m.
Trump's defiant response to a recent shooting incident has strengthened his case for a brand of strongman politics, according to some observers. The incident, which took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, saw Trump escape death and rally his stunned audience to forge a bond with his supporters.
The incident has cemented Trump's position as the leader of the Republican Party, with many voters seeing him as more beloved than former President Ronald Reagan. The shooting and Trump's response have also strengthened his hand in the campaign and with Republican lawmakers, who are now less likely to resist his second-term impulses.
Trump's most significant challenger in the primary, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, has also gotten the message. After reports that she would not attend the convention, Haley indicated Sunday that she would come and speak in Milwaukee.
The Republican Party's unity behind Trump has been a long time coming, with the former president staging a takeover of the party since 2017. The party's success in recent elections has been largely due to a backlash against Trump and Trumpism, with many Bush Republicans, card-carrying DSA members, and Americans in between finding consensus on a single issue.
The Democratic Party, on the other hand, has been badly splintered in the wake of President Joe Biden's catastrophic debate showing. The forces of Stop Trump are now at odds, with the understanding they had to mute internal dissent coming undone.
Democrats are now attempting to compress what should have been a three-year-long conversation into three weeks, the summer of the election. They are speaking in existential terms about the stakes, with some congressional allies attempting to oust Biden from their ticket.
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, convinced Biden will lose, has been working the phones since June 27 in hopes of finding a way to ease him off the ticket. The extent of Pelosi's behind-the-scenes role has not been fully revealed, but she has been stage-managing phone calls to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and plotting strategy with the biggest names in Democratic politics.
The third night of the RNC is set to be a powerful display of the Republican Party's unity and strength, with Trump's running mate and some of the party's biggest names taking the stage. The party's focus on foreign affairs and border security is sure to resonate with voters, who are looking for a strong leader to guide the country through these challenging times.
