JD Vance Formally Accepts Republican Vice President Nomination
Ohio senator JD Vance, a 39-year-old former US Marine, has accepted the Republican Party’s nomination as US presidential candidate Donald Trump’s running mate.
Vance’s remarks concluded the three-day Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, following those on the same day made by former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Governor Doug Burgum, Donald Trump Jr. and Vance’s wife Usha Chilukuri Vance, a daughter of Indian immigrants.
“I officially accept your nomination to be vice president of the United States of America,” Vance said during his speech on Wednesday, July 17.
Vance has long opposed further aid to Ukraine, arguing that the US is “stretched too thin” in its resources and should instead focus on other allies.
“It’s not that we don’t admire the courageousness of the Ukrainians. We certainly do.”
“It’s that America is stretched too thin. We do not have the industrial capacity to support a war in Ukraine, a war in Israel, potentially a war in East Asia if the Chinese invade Taiwan, so America has to pick and choose,” Vance told Fox News in April.
However, he admitted in 2022 that he does not care what happens in Ukraine.
