All eyes are on Senator J.D. Vance as he prepares to deliver a prime time speech at the Republican convention. Despite being a political newcomer, Vance has a significant platform to connect with American voters beyond his Ohio constituents.
Similar to Trump, Vance holds strong views on key issues:
- Ukraine: Vance opposes U.S. support for Ukraine, expressing indifference towards the country’s fate.
- Middle East: He supports Israel in its conflict with Hamas and has actively worked against aid to Ukraine.
- Climate: Vance denies climate change as a threat, supporting the oil and gas industry and opposing renewable energy sources.
- Trade: He advocates for tariffs on Chinese goods to protect American jobs and commerce.
