56:56Now PlayingLast night, the third night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, saw the formal introduction of President Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, to the nation. Vance was introduced by his wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, a trial lawyer from San Diego, California. The couple met while they were both students at Yale Law School, and Chilukuri Vance previously clerked for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his tenure on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Other speakers included Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Peter Navarro, Kellyanne Conway, Governor Doug Burgum (ND), and Governor Greg Abbott (TX). The highlight of the evening was Vance himself, the author of "Hillbilly Elegy," who discussed his background and Trump's vision for the country.
Earlier, the Trump-Vance campaign issued a statement trolling the Biden-Harris campaign regarding the scheduling of the vice-presidential debate. They remarked that since the Democratic vice-presidential nominee was uncertain, it would be unfair to schedule the debate before their convention, mentioning potential candidates like Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, or whoever Kamala Harris might choose as her running mate.
The Democratic National Committee plans to nominate President Joe Biden via a virtual roll call in the first week of August, despite increasing calls for him to step aside and a recent AP-NORC poll indicating that nearly two-thirds of Democrats want him to withdraw. The latest Democrat to urge Biden to step aside is California Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Adam Schiff, who released a statement on Wednesday suggesting that Biden should "pass the torch" to secure his legacy and defeat Trump in the upcoming election. Schiff joins nearly two dozen other House and Senate Democrats in calling for Biden to step aside, but acknowledges that the decision is ultimately Biden's.
Meanwhile, new details have emerged about Saturday’s assassination attempt against Trump. The shooter was reportedly spotted over 30 minutes before he opened fire, and local police counter-snipers, stationed inside the building, saw him with a rangefinder and relayed this information to the command center. Despite raising suspicions hours before the shooting, the shooter was somehow allowed to scale a roof with a rifle.
As the convention continued, there was also a lighter debate in newsrooms about whether it should be "J.D." or "JD" Vance. The senator's bestselling book cover lists his name as "J.D.," but his social media pages list it both ways. Puck News asked the senator himself, who prefers "JD" without the periods. However, old habits die hard, and many will wait to see how it’s written in the White House website biography section.
