Vance brands Democrats 'party of hatred' ahead of midterm
US Vice President JD Vance called Democrats the "party of hatred" and urged voters to send them packing in November's midterms, in a prime-time convention speech that showcased him as a possible heir to Donald Trump in 2028.
During his prime-time convention speech, US Vice President JD Vance branded Democrats the "party of hatred" and urged voters to reject them in the upcoming midterms. The 42-year-old vice president received a standing ovation as he addressed the American Airlines Center in Dallas, vowing to send Democrats packing in November. He claimed Democrats are running candidates who will dictate what children can say and do, and that they despise America and its people.
Trump, who returned to the stage after Vance, praised his vice president's performance, stating, "I want to thank our great vice president. What a job he did tonight!" Trump promised to be brief before introducing a convention-closing music set, but reiterated his attack on "radical left" Democrats, asking supporters to pretend he is on the ticket.
Republicans face heavy electoral pressure heading into the midterms, with polls projecting Democrats will win the House and the Senate hangs in the balance. Vance aimed to emphasize the divide between traditional values and the political left, emphasizing the importance of family and fatherhood. He also paid tribute to conservative youth activist Charlie Kirk on the first anniversary of his death, urging Democrats to stay away from children.
