JD Vance frames GOP midterm message around family and national identity

Vice President JD Vance used his keynote at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas to outline a broad vision for the country and signal the themes that may shape his future in the GOP. Speaking Thursday, Vance said every American child should inherit the nation’s opportunities regardless of background. He linked that message to his own family, including the recent birth of his fourth child, and said children should grow up with access to clean water, healthy food, strong schools, safe neighborhoods, and the chance to afford a home. Vance also used the speech to criticize Democrats, accusing them of turning away from workingclass Americans and traditional values. He said the November election is about more than party politics and framed it as a contest over the country’s future and the legacy it leaves to the next generation.
