00:10news update.
00:18Sworn into elected office for the first time last year, Mr. Vance gave a speech in Milwaukee
00:22that served as an introduction to party delegates and a blueprint for his campaign to help return
00:26Mr. Trump to the White House.
00:28Mr. Vance aims to leverage his autobiography to help reverse the former president's 2020
00:33losses in the three states with the highest percentages of white, working-class voters
00:37– Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
00:40In his address, Mr. Vance mentioned Michigan six times, Pennsylvania five times, and Wisconsin
00:46three times.
00:47You're going to see J.D. Vance heavily invested in Rust Belt states between now and Election
00:52Day, Tony Fabrizio, the Trump campaign's top pollster, said Wednesday.
00:57Mr. Vance immediately got to work.
00:59He denounced the ridiculous cost of housing and stagnant wages, while calling the Chinese
01:04Communist Party a threat to the American middle class.
01:07He stated that the Republican ticket would not import foreign workers, but instead rebuild
01:12factories, protect supply chains, and stamp more and more products with this beautiful
01:16label, Made in the USA.
01:19We need a leader who will fight for the people of our country, Mr. Vance said.
01:23We need a leader who is not in the pocket of big business, but who answers to the working
01:27man, union and non-union alike.
01:29A leader who will not sell out to multinational corporations, but will stand up for American
01:33industry.
01:34J.D. Vance highlighted his appellation roots in the 2024 race, leaning into his poor upbringing
01:40during the party convention and often referencing the battleground states surrounding his home
01:44state of Ohio.
01:45On Wednesday, Senator J.D. Vance drew a direct line from his troubled upbringing in southwest
01:50Ohio to his new position as a top lieutenant in Donald J. Trump's conservative movement.
01:55He pledged at the Republican National Convention to support and fight for the working class
01:59in Washington, for the people who built this country.

02:08for vice president, becoming one of the youngest Americans to hold the role.
02:12His emotional speech marks a pivotal moment in his burgeoning political career.
02:17Casting himself as a child of Appalachia with a deep appreciation for the resilience of
02:21the American heartland, Mr. Vance cemented his connection with Mr. Trump's white, working
02:26class political base.
02:27He emphasized that he would be guided by the lessons he learned from Mamao, his deeply
02:32religious, foul-mouthed grandmother who raised him, and the memories of friends and acquaintances
02:36from his old neighborhood, who became victims of drug abuse.
02:39I promise every American, regardless of your party, I will give it everything I've got,
