MILWAUKEE — Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, a right-wing populist known for his unbending opinions, introduced himself Wednesday as a vice presidential candidate open to compromise and eager for unity, but unapologetically drawn to hot-button debates. “We have a big tent in this party, on everything from national security to economic policy,” Vance told Republican National Convention delegates as he accepted their nomination to be Donald Trump’s running mate.
“Mamaw was in so many ways a woman of many contradictions. She loved the Lord, she was a woman of very deep Christian faith, but she also loved the f-word. I’m not kidding, she could make a sailor blush.” Vance’s mother, Beverly Aikins, watched from the friends and family box, leading to one of the night’s most emotional moments. “Our movement is about single moms like mine, who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up,” Vance said.
