Day three of the Republican National Convention is set to be electrifying as Sen. J.D. Vance, former President Donald Trump’s newly confirmed 2024 running mate, makes his much-anticipated public debut.
The 39-year-old Ohio senator will cement his role as the Republican vice-presidential nominee with his headlining speech. The grand finale on Thursday will feature President Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, addressing the convention.
In addition to Vance's spotlight speech, notable appearances will include Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota and Donald Trump Jr. The Republican Party will underscore the theme of "Make America Strong Once Again," focusing on restoring and rebuilding American global strength, which they argue has waned under President Joe Biden's administration.
NBC 5 Chicago News reports that "Make America Strong Once Again" will be the dominant narrative at the Milwaukee convention. According to the GOP schedule, the third night of the convention will begin at 5:45 p.m. CT, featuring speeches on various topics until 10 p.m.
While the complete list of speakers remains undisclosed, Sen. Vance’s address is confirmed. Breitbart News highlighted that Vance was named Trump’s running mate on the convention's first day, marking a significant milestone. Vance, as Breitbart News’ Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle noted, will be the first Marine and the first millennial on a major party’s presidential ticket.
The third day’s overarching theme will call for an overhaul of U.S. foreign policy. The Republican platform includes increased domestic energy production to reduce reliance on foreign fuel, restoring peace in Europe, and boosting military spending.
Tuesday’s events showcased a united front among Republicans, with Donald Trump receiving applause from former rivals, contrasting sharply with the divisions within the Democratic Party. Nikki Haley, former U.N. ambassador and Trump’s final challenger in the GOP primary, addressed her supporters, emphasizing unity.
“You don’t have to agree with Trump 100% of the time to vote for him,” Haley asserted, facing a mix of cheers and boos.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, once a primary rival, also took the stage, stressing his renewed alliance with Trump. “Donald Trump has been demonized, sued, prosecuted, and nearly lost his life,” DeSantis declared. “We cannot let him down. And we cannot let America down.”
