As the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee stretches into its third day, Ohio Sen. JD Vance is slated to deliver his first address as a vice presidential nominee Wednesday evening.
Vance's speech comes two days after former president Donald Trump announced the junior senator as his VP pick on the first day of the convention. The Ohio senator clinched the nomination over others on Trump's VP shortlist, including Florida Sen. Marko Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.
"After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Monday.
