The third day of the Republican National Convention commenced Wednesday, with Republicans led by the newly nominated Donald Trump and his running mate, US Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. They shifted their focus to national security and foreign policy issues. Republicans targeted Democratic President Joe Biden's handling of ongoing crises in Europe and the Middle East.
Vance introduced himself to a national audience with his debut speech as the Republican vice-presidential nominee. He represents a relatively new political figure who transformed from a Trump critic to a staunch supporter.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Milwaukee, Cavalier Johnson, shared details of a brief and pleasant conversation with Trump. However, the city's mood was also impacted by a recent shooting where police saved an unarmed man's life, leading to the release of body camera footage. As the convention progresses, speeches from Trump and Vance are highly anticipated.
