On Wednesday night, Ohio senator JD Vance took center stage at the Republican National Convention to formally accept the nomination for vice president.
“I pledge to every American, no matter your party, I will give you everything I have to serve you. And to make this country a place where every dream you have for yourself, your family and your country will be possible once again,” Vance said.
The author of the bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, also promised that he will be “a vice president who never forgets where he came from.”
Pundits and commentators took to X with their take on his remarks. National Review political correspondent Jim Geraghty said Vance “masterfully delivered an amazing speech” even though he disagreed with some tenets of the content.
“Vance’s speech was Obama-esque in its ability to take ideas that are controversial or divisive and make them sound full of common sense,” Geraghty said.
Political commentator Camryn Kinsey posted on X, “As someone from Kentucky who grew up in a struggling single-parent household during my early childhood, JD Vance’s RNC speech truly resonated with me.”
“His words were relatable, funny, personable, and genuinely authentic,” she said.
Beverley Hallberg of the District Media Group graded the speech “a C+.”
“The copy itself was a bit clunky since it shifted between serious and light throughout, & he struggled to navigate the delivery switches,” she noted “The Mammaw stories were gold, and he is most comfortable when talking policy.”
