“The choice is clear: To bring America all the way back, we need four more years of President Donald Trump,” Mike Pence says at RNC.
Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday night argued that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden can’t be trusted to restore the coronavirus-battered economy or keep cities safe, as he delivered the keynote speech on the Republican National Convention’s third night and accepted his party's nomination to serve as President Donald Trump’s No. 2.
In a reference to the unrest sparked by recent police killings of Black Americans, Pence said people “don’t have to choose between supporting law enforcement and standing with our African-American neighbors,” but then claimed that Biden would cut funding for law enforcement and “double down on the very policies that are leading to violence in America’s cities.
“Donald Trump and Mike Pence can talk all they want about making America great again, but they can’t hide from their record,” the California senator said. “American families are reeling from the worst public health crisis in a century, and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Trump and Pence have responded with incompetence.”
The speeches followed testimonials earlier in the week from a range of speakers, including Donald Trump Jr. and Nikki Haley on Monday, and first lady Melania Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday.
