Vance assails Democratic ‘hate’ in fiery US midterm pitch
Taking the stage in Dallas, US vice-president JD Vance sought to sharpen a convention-long portrayal of Democrats as extremists.
Vice President JD Vance delivered a fiery speech at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, accusing Democrats of running on "hate" and urging voters to vote them out in the upcoming midterm elections. The 42-year-old Republican, widely seen as a potential 2028 presidential contender, portrayed the Democrats as extremists, emphasizing that their platform focused on telling people what they can say, how they can live, and who they should hate.
Vance also highlighted the contrast between Republican traditional values and the left's political agenda. The convention, more of a Trump rally than a standard party meeting, featured over 50 speakers and drew nearly 20,000 spectators. As Republicans face heavy pressure in the November elections, with Democrats projected to win the House and the Senate's outcome uncertain, Vance's appearance provided a glimpse of a potential post-Trump future within the party.
His speech also paid tribute to late conservative activist Charlie Kirk and his children, emphasizing the importance of family.
