In his vice-presidential nomination acceptance speech, JD Vance expressed hope for America’s future and praised Donald Trump's leadership and resilience. “… my message to my fellow Americans, those watching from across the country, shouldn't we be governed by a party that is unafraid to debate ideas and come to the best solution. That's the Republican Party of the next four years, united in our love for this country and committed to free speech and the open exchange of ideas… … Mr. Chairman, I stand here humbled, and I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say I officially accept your nomination to be Vice President of the United States of America.”
