JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, gave a strongly worded condemnation of the political class in what was his keynote speech in the RNC.
Vance, a first-term senator who is 39 years old from Ohio tried to establish himself as a successor of the former president Trump’s populist movement that transformed the Republican Party . Speaking at the event, Vance stated that “the people who govern this country have failed and failed again” .
Continuing also Trump’s “America First” policy, Vance condemned the U. S. governmental strategy in foreign policy and suggested a possible shift in the support of Ukraine. He also applauded the polarizing policies of Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and stated that the United States should take note of his strategies in trying to purge university establishments of leftist ideologies.
Vance gave the speech at a politically charged week following the heels of a call for President Biden to step down from the Democratic nomination and an assassination attempt on Trump.
The nominee for vice president failed to speak directly on these occurrences providing instead, his principles on the reformation of the country.
So, on one hand, the passionate speech and devotion to Trump’s populist platform will excite the Republican voters; on the other hand, it may trouble the centrist voter. On the same occasion, the spotlight will fall on Vance and his capacity to mobilize the party supporters behind him and his agenda on the country’s future
