Senator J.D.
Portraying himself as a child of Appalachia with a deep appreciation for the “grit in the American heartland,” Mr. Vance effectively framed his nomination as one for Mr. Trump’s white, working-class political base.
He said he would be guided by the lessons learned from “Mamaw,” his deeply religious, foul-mouthed grandmother who raised him, and the memories of the friends and acquaintances from his old neighborhood who died of drug overdoses.
“I pledge to every American, no matter your party, I will give everything I have,” Mr. Vance said.
“To serve you and to make this country a place where every dream you have for yourself, your family and your country will be possible once again.”
