WASHINGTON — Wednesday marks day three of the Republican National Convention. Delegates will be hitting the convention at Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum starting at 7 p.m.
The headline speaker will be Ohio's junior U.S. Senator J.D. Vance, where he is expected to accept the GOP vice presidential nomination.
In Vance's speech, which is scheduled to begin around 10:30 p.m., he is expected to touch on his personal story, which includes a blue-collar upbringing in Appalachia.
A former U.S. Marine, Vance will also highlight his military background, which fits perfectly into Wednesday night's convention theme: "Make America Strong Again." Before Vance's address, speakers will focus on national security and foreign policy.
He is expected to speak on policies that the Trump Administration will introduce if re-elected that will help the working class in America, according to Virginia Congressman Ben Cline.
WUSA9's Simone De Alba spoke with Cline ahead of the Republican National Convention about Vance as the GOP's vice presidential candidate. Cline also discussed what he hopes to hear on the foreign policy front, as well as his thoughts on uniting Americans at this deeply polarizing time in U.S. politics.
Cline believes that a united country is a reflection of our differences and respecting that so that we can move forward together as a country to achieve the "American Dream".
When asked about J.D. Vance's vice presidential nomination, Cline called Vance "an exciting, electric choice for Vice President".
Cline is excited for November, claiming Biden's policies have "really been destructive in terms of the inflation that they have created, the effect on energy prices, for goods and services across the country, for prices at the pump, prices at the grocery stores."
Cline says his Virginian constituents' top issues are inflation and immigration, citing drugs, and other types of crimes such as sex, human, and drug trafficking as an effect of loose border patrol.
