Republican National Convention Nominates President Donald J. Trump for President, J.D. Vance for Vice President
MILWAUKEE – Today, at the Republican National Convention, Republican delegates from across the country nominated Donald J. Trump for President and Senator J.D. Vance for Vice President in a historic display of party unity.
“President Donald J. Trump and Senator J.D. Vance are the most unifying and competitive ticket in political history. Donald J. Trump’s record of success as a businessman and as a president who made America wealthy, safe, strong, and great again, coupled with J.D. Vance’s inspirational biography, military service, and dedication to America's working families, will appeal to voters of all backgrounds across the country. After President Trump secured the Republican nomination in record time, enthusiasm continues to grow for his movement to Make America Great Again, and we will deliver a sweeping victory for the Trump-Vance ticket on November 5.” – Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita & Susie Wiles
“The Republican Party is proud to nominate President Donald J. Trump and Senator J.D. Vance as our next President and Vice President of the United States. The GOP is the party of working Americans, and Senator Vance has long championed the rural men and women left behind in Joe Biden’s America. His experience, on top of President Trump’s accomplishments for rural communities, like negotiating fairer trade deals like the USMCA and cutting red tape for our farmers, will show Americans in the Heartland that they have a home in President Trump’s movement to Make America Great Again. We look forward to welcoming Americans of all backgrounds into our ‘big tent’ Party and behind the Trump-Vance ticket in the leadup to Election Day.” – Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chairman Lara Trump
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP ANNOUNCES SENATOR J.D. VANCE WILL BE THE NEXT VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
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. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond….
….As Vice President, J.D. will continue to fight for our Constitution, stand with our Troops, and will do everything he can to help me MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Congratulations to Senator J.D. Vance, his wife, Usha, who also graduated from Yale Law School, and their three beautiful children. MAGA2024!
U.S. Senator J.D. Vance
GOP Vice Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech
Republican National Convention
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
July 17, 2024
(Remarks as Prepared for Delivery)
My fellow Americans, my name is JD Vance, from the GREAT state of Ohio.
Tonight is a night of HOPE. A celebration of what America once was, and with God’s grace, what it WILL SOON BE AGAIN.
And it is a reminder of the sacred duty that we have to preserve the American experiment, to CHOOSE a new path for our children and grandchildren.
But as we meet tonight, we cannot forget that this evening could have been much different. Instead of a day of celebration, this could have been a day of heartache and mourning.
For the last eight years, President Trump has given everything he has to fight for the people of our country. He didn’t need politics, but the COUNTRY NEEDED HIM.
Prior to running for president, he was one of the most successful businessmen in the world. He had everything anyone could ever want in a life. And yet, instead of choosing the easy path, he chose to endure abuse, slander, and persecution.
But don’t take my word for it, go and watch the video of a would-be assassin coming a quarter of an inch from taking his life.
Consider the lies they told you about Donald Trump. And then look at the photo of him defiant – fist in the air.
When Donald J. Trump rose to his feet in that Pennsylvania field – all of America STOOD UP WITH HIM.
Even in his most perilous moment WE were on his mind. His instinct was for US. To call us to something higher. To something greater. To once again be citizens who ask what our country needs of us.
He called for national unity, for calm. He remembered the victims of the terrible attack, especially the brave Corey Comperatore, who gave his life to protect his family.
AND THEN PRESIDENT TRUMP FLEW TO MILWAUKEE AND GOT BACK TO WORK.
That is the man I’ve gotten to know personally over the last few years.
HE IS, OUR ONCE AND FUTURE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
And I want to respond to his call for unity myself.
And my message to my fellow Americans is: shouldn’t we be governed by a party that is unafraid to debate ideas and come to the best solution?
That’s the Republican Party of the next four years: united in our love for America, and committed to free speech and the open exchange of ideas.
So tonight, I stand here humbled, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude, to say…
I OFFICIALLY ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION TO BE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Never in my wildest imagination would I have believed that I could be standing here tonight.
I grew up in Middletown, Ohio, a small town where people spoke their minds, built with their hands, and loved their God, family, community, and country with their whole hearts.
But it was also a place that had been cast aside and forgotten by America’s ruling class in Washington.
When I was in the fourth grade, a career politician by the name of Joe Biden supported NAFTA, a bad trade deal that sent countless good American manufacturing jobs to Mexico.
When I was a sophomore in high school, a career politician by the name of Joe Biden gave China a sweetheart trade deal that destroyed even more good middle class jobs.
And when I was a senior in high school, Joe Biden supported the disastrous invasion of Iraq.
And at each step of the way, in small towns like mine in Ohio, or next door in Pennsylvania, or in Michigan and other states across our country, jobs were sent overseas and children were sent to war.
Somehow, a real estate developer from New York by the name of Donald Trump was right on all of these issues while Joe Biden was wrong. Donald Trump knew, even then, that we needed leaders who would put AMERICA FIRST.
Thanks to these policies that Biden and the other out-of-touch politicians in Washington gave us, our country was FLOODED with cheap Chinese goods and cheap foreign labor… And in the decades to come, deadly Chinese fentanyl.
Joe Biden screwed up, and my community paid the price.
Now, I was lucky. Despite the closing factories and the growing addiction in towns like mine, in my life, I had a guardian angel by my side. She was an old woman who could barely walk but was tough as nails.
I called her “Mamaw,” the name we hillbillies gave to our grandmothers.
Mamaw raised me as her own as my own mother struggled with addiction.
Thanks to Mamaw, things worked out for me.
After 9/11, I did what thousands of other young men my age did in that time of soaring patriotism and love of country: I enlisted in the United States Marines.
I left the Marines after four years and went to THE OHIO STATE, and then to law school at Yale—where I met my beautiful wife—and then started businesses to create jobs in the kinds of places I grew up.
My work taught me that there is still so much talent and grit in the American heartland. But for these places to thrive, we need a leader who fights for the people who built this country.
We NEED President Donald J. Trump.
Some people tell me I’ve lived the American Dream, and they are right.
But the American Dream that always counted most was not starting a business or becoming a senator or even being here with you fine people, it was becoming a good husband and a good dad, and of giving my family the things I never had as a kid.
And that’s the accomplishment I’m proudest of.
That tonight I’m joined by my beautiful wife, Usha, an incredible lawyer and a better mom, and our three kids— Ewan, Vivek, Mirabel—hopefully in bed.
Things did not work out well for a lot of kids I grew up with. Every now and then I will get a call from a relative back home who asks, did you know “so and so.” And I’ll remember a face from years ago. And then I’ll hear, “they died of an overdose.”
As always, America’s ruling class wrote the checks; communities like mine paid the price.
For decades, that divide between the few, with their power and comfort in Washington, and the rest of us only widened.
From Iraq to Afghanistan, from the Financial Crisis to the Great Recession, from open borders to stagnating wages, the people who govern this country have failed and failed again.
That is, until President Donald J. Trump came along.
Donald Trump represents America’s last best hope to restore what – if lost – may never be found again.
But my fellow Americans, this moment is not about me, it’s about all of us, and who we’re fighting for.
It’s about the auto worker in Michigan, wondering why out of touch politicians are destroying your jobs.
It’s about the factory worker in Wisconsin, who makes things with their hands and is proud of American craftsmanship.
It’s about the energy worker in Pennsylvania and Ohio, who doesn’t understand why Joe Biden is willing to buy energy from tinpot dictators but not hard-working Americans right here at home.
And, it’s about single moms like mine, who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up.
And I am proud to say that tonight my mom is here, 10 years clean and sober.
I love you, mom.
It's about grandparents all across this country, who are living on Social Security and raising grandchildren they didn't expect to raise.
Joe Biden has been a politician in Washington for longer than I've been alive.
For half-a-CENTURY, he's been THE CHAMPION of every major policy initiative to make America WEAKER and POORER.
In four years, Donald Trump reversed decades of betrayals inflicted by Joe Biden and the rest of the corrupt Washington insiders.
He created the greatest economy in history for workers. Just imagine what he can do with four more years in the White House.
Months ago, I heard some young family member observe that their parents’ generation—the baby boomers—could afford to buy a home when they first entered the workforce. “But I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to afford a home,” they said sadly.
The absurd cost of housing is the result of SO MANY failures of America’s leadership class. And I can tell you exactly how it happened.
Wall Street barons crashed the economy and American builders went out of business.
As tradesmen scrambled for jobs, houses stopped being built.
The lack of good jobs led to stagnant wages.
Then Democrats flooded the country with illegal immigrants.
So, citizens had to compete – with people who shouldn’t even be here – for precious housing.
Joe Biden’s inflation crisis is really an affordability crisis.
Many of the people that I grew up with can't afford to pay more for groceries, more for gas, more for rent, and that's exactly what Joe Biden’s economy has given them. So prices soared and dreams were shattered.
And China and the cartels sent fentanyl across the border, adding addiction to the heartache.
But that’s not the end of our story.
We’ve heard about the villains and their victims. But let me tell you about the future.
President Trump’s vision is simple - we won’t cater to Wall Street, we’ll commit to the Working Man.
We won’t import foreign labor, we’ll fight for American citizens.
We won’t buy energy from countries that hate us, we’ll get it RIGHT here from American Workers.
We won’t sacrifice our supply chains to unlimited global trade, we’ll stamp every product MADE IN THE USA.
We will build factories again, put people to work making REAL products for American families, made with the hands of American workers.
Together, we will protect the wages of American workers—union and non-union alike—and stop the Chinese Communist Party from building THEIR middle class on the backs of OUR hard-working citizens.
Together, we will make our allies share in the burden of securing world peace: no more free rides for nations that betray the generosity of the American taxpayer.
Together, we will send our kids to war only when we must.
But as President Trump showed with the elimination of ISIS, when we PUNCH, we will punch hard.
Together, we will put the citizens of America first, whatever the color of their skin.
WE WILL, IN SHORT, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
I am married to the daughter of South Asian immigrants to this country, incredible people, people who genuinely have enriched the country in so many ways.
And of course, I'm biased, because I love my wife, but I believe that it's true.
When I proposed to my wife, we were in law school, and I said, Honey, I come with $120,000 worth of law school debt, and a cemetery plot on a mountainside in eastern Kentucky.
That cemetery plot in Eastern Kentucky is near my family’s ancestral home. Like a lot of people, we came from the mountains of Appalachia into the factories of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
This is Kentucky coal country, by the way, one of the 10 poorest counties in the entire United States of America.
They are very hardworking people, and they're very good people, and they would give you the shirt off their back.
The media call them “privileged” and look down on them.
But they love this country, not ONLY because it's a good idea. But because in their bones, they know that this is their home, and it will be their children's home, and they would die fighting to protect it. That is the source of America's greatness.
As a U.S. Senator, I get to represent millions of people in the state of Ohio with similar stories, and it’s the great honor of my life.
But never forget that the reason why this united Republican Party exists, why we do this, why we care about all those great ideas and that great history, is that we want this nation to thrive for centuries to come.
Eventually, in that mountain cemetery, my children will lay me to rest. And when they do, I would like them to know that thanks to the work of this Republican Party, the United States of America is as strong and as proud and as great as ever.
And the thing that we have to do, right now, to make that happen, is to re-elect President Donald J. Trump!
Mr. President, I will never take for granted the trust you have put in me.
And what an honor it is to help achieve the extraordinary vision you have for our country.
I pledge to every American - no matter your party, I will give 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.
And I promise you one more thing - the people of Middletown, Ohio, and all the forgotten communities in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and every corner of our Nation…
I promise you this - I will NEVER forget where I came from.
And every single day for the next four years, when I walk into that White House to help President Trump,
I will be doing it FOR YOU and FOR YOUR FAMILY and FOR YOUR FUTURE.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Future Vice President J.D. Vance Delivers A Powerful Speech
Ohio Senator J.D. Vance formally accepted the Republican nomination for Vice President of the United States.
Donald Trump Jr. said: "Look at me and my friend J.D. Vance. A kid from Appalachia and a kid from Trump Tower...We grew up worlds apart, yet now we're both fighting side by side to save the country we love. And by the way, J.D. Vance is going to make one hell of a vice president."
Future Second Lady Usha Vance: "[J.D.'s] goals in this new role are the same that he has pursued for our family: to keep people safe, to create opportunities, to build a better life and to solve problems with an open mind."
Highlights from Senator Vance's speech:
Senator Vance: "Tonight is a night of hope -- a celebration of what America once was, and with God's grace, what it will soon be again. And it is a reminder of the sacred duty we have to preserve the American experiment -- to choose a new path for our children and grandchildren."
Senator Vance: "That's the man I've gotten to know personally over the last few years. He's tough, but he cares about people. He can stand defiant against an assassin one moment and call for national healing the next."
Senator Vance: "Some people tell me I’ve lived the American Dream, and of course, they are right...But the American Dream that always counted most was not starting a business or becoming a senator...My most important American dream was becoming a good husband and a good dad. I wanted to give my kids the things I never had growing up."

President Donald J. Trump
GOP Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech
Republican National Convention
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
July 18, 2024
I stand before you this evening with a message of confidence, strength, and hope. Four months from now, we will have an incredible victory, and we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country.
...
Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
...
The discord and division in our society must be healed. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart.
...
I am running to be president for ALL of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.
...
So tonight, with faith and devotion, I PROUDLY ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
...
Let me begin this evening by expressing my gratitude to the American people for your outpouring of love and support following the assassination attempt at my rally on Saturday.
...
As you already know, the assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life. So many people have asked me what happened, and therefore, I’ll tell you what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s too painful to tell.
...
Despite such a heinous attack, we unite this evening more determined than ever. Our resolve is unbroken, and our purpose is unchanged--to deliver a government that serves the American People.
...
Everything I have to give, with all of the energy and fight in my heart and soul, I pledge to our nation tonight.
This election should be about the issues facing our country and how to make America successful, safe, free, and great again.
...
In an age when our politics too often divide us, now is the time to remember that we are all fellow citizens—we are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
...
On this journey, I am deeply honored to be joined by my amazing wife, Melania. Thank you, Melania, and thank you also for your beautiful letter to America calling for national unity. It captivated so many.
...
I also want to thank my entire family—Don and Kimberly, Ivanka and Jared, Eric and Lara, Tiffany and Michael, Barron, and of course, my ten wonderful grandchildren.
...
I am thrilled to have a new friend and partner fighting by my side: the next VICE PRESIDENT of the United States, the current Senator from Ohio, J.D. Vance, and his incredible wife, Usha.
...
And a very special thank you to the extraordinary people of Milwaukee and the great state of Wisconsin for hosting this outstanding convention.
...
We will Make Wisconsin Great Again, I promise.
...
I am here tonight to lay out a vision for the whole nation. To every citizen, whether you are young or old, man or woman, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, black or white, Asian or Hispanic, I extend to you a hand of loyalty and friendship.
...
Together, we will lead America to new heights of greatness like the world has never seen before.
...
Under our leadership, the United States will be RESPECTED again. No nation will question our power. No enemy will doubt our might. Our borders will be totally SECURE. Our economy will soar. We will return LAW and ORDER to our streets, PATRIOTISM to our schools, and importantly, we will restore peace, stability, and harmony all throughout the world.
...
But to achieve this future, we must first rescue our nation from failed leadership. This will be the most important election in the history of our country.
...
Under the current administration, we are a nation in decline.
...
We have an INFLATION CRISIS that is making life unaffordable, ravaging the incomes of working and low-income families, and crushing our people.
...
We also have an ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRISIS – a massive invasion at our southern border that has spread misery, crime, poverty, disease, and destruction to communities all across our land.
...
Then there is an INTERNATIONAL CRISIS the likes of which the world has seldom seen. War is now raging in Europe and the Middle East, a growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and all of Asia, and our planet is teetering on the edge of World War Three, and this will be a war like no other.
...
It is time for a CHANGE. We simply cannot sustain four more years of this administration.
...
So tonight, I make this pledge to the great People of America.
...
I will END the devastating Inflation Crisis immediately, bring down interest rates, and lower the cost of energy—we will DRILL, BABY, DRILL, which will lead to a large-scale decline in prices.
...
I will END the Illegal Immigration Crisis by closing our border and finishing the wall, most of which I have already built.
...
I will END every single International Crisis that the current administration has created—including the horrible war with Russia and Ukraine, and the war caused by the attack on Israel, both of which would never have happened if I were president.
...
Together, we will restore VISION, STRENGTH, COMPETENCE, and COMMON SENSE to the Oval Office.
...
Just a few short years ago under my presidency, we had the most secure border and the best economy in the history of our country. We had NO inflation, soaring incomes, and the world was at peace.
...
But in less than four years, our opponents have turned incredible success into unparalleled tragedy and failure.
...
Today, our cities are flooded with illegal aliens. Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force and their jobs taken. Inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens, and forced the Middle Class into a state of depression and despair.
...
We cannot, and will not, let this continue. Less than four years ago, we were a great nation, and we will soon be a great nation again.
...
With proper leadership, every disaster we are now enduring will be fixed—and fixed quickly.
...
So tonight, whether you’ve supported me in the past or not, I hope you will support me in the future, because I will bring back the American Dream.
With great humility, I am asking you to be EXCITED about the future of our country.
...
This week, the entire Republican Party has formally adopted an agenda for America’s renewal.
...
First, we must get economic relief to our citizens. Starting on Day One, we will drive down prices and Make America AFFORDABLE again!
...
Under this administration, groceries are up 50%, gasoline is up 60%, mortgage rates have quadrupled, and you can’t get the money anyway. Total household costs have increased an average of $28,000 per family.
...
Republicans have a plan to bring down prices, and bring them down fast. By slashing energy costs, we will in turn reduce the cost of transportation, manufacturing, and all household goods. We have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country—we as a nation will make a fortune with oil and gas.
...
Next, we will end the ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars that is fueling the inflation crisis. And all of the trillions of dollars that are sitting there not yet spent, will be redirected for important projects like roads, bridges, dams, and we will not allow it to be spent on the meaningless Green New Scam.
...
I will END the Electric Vehicle Mandate on Day One—thereby saving the U.S. auto industry from complete obliteration, and saving U.S. customers thousands of dollars per car.
...
I will bring auto jobs back to our country, through the proper use of taxes, tariffs, and incentives, and will not allow massive auto manufacturing plants to be built in Mexico, China, or other countries, where they send the product back to the United States, and steal our jobs, creating a hopeless situation for our companies and autoworkers.
...
We have long been taken advantage of by other countries, often being considered our allies. We lose jobs and revenue, they gain everything, and wipe out our businesses. I stopped it four years ago, and I will stop it again. We will not let countries come in, take our jobs, and plunder our nation.
...
The way they will sell their product in America is to BUILD it in America, and ONLY in America. This will create massive jobs and wealth for our country.
...
At the center of our plan for economic relief are massive tax cuts for workers—and that includes NO TAX ON TIPS. That means if you are a restaurant worker, bartender, hospitality worker, caddy, barber, mover, driver, or anyone else who relies on tip income, your tips will be 100% YOURS.
...
I gave the biggest tax cut in history, bigger than the Reagan Tax Cuts, but I am going to lower taxes still further.
...
By contrast, Democrats have promised to end the Trump Tax Cuts and impose a record-setting $5 trillion tax hike. I am going to LOWER taxes—Democrats are going to RAISE taxes.
...
I am going to PROTECT Social Security and Medicare—Democrats are going to DESTROY Social Security and Medicare.
...
Under my plan, incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish, jobs will come roaring back, and the Middle Class will prosper like never before.
...
But no hope or dream we have for America can succeed unless we stop the illegal immigrant invasion at our Southern Border.
...
At the heart of the Republican platform is our pledge to end this border nightmare, and to fully restore the sacred and sovereign borders of the United States of America—on Day One.
...
Less than four years ago, I handed this administration the strongest border in American history.
...
We ended all catch-and-release. Shut down asylum fraud. Stopped human trafficking, and forged historic agreements to keep illegal aliens on foreign soil.
...
Under the Trump Administration, if you came in illegally, you were apprehended immediately and deported.
...
The current administration terminated every single one of those great Trump policies that I put in place to seal the border.
...
They suspended wall construction, ended Remain in Mexico, cancelled our Safe Third agreements, demolished Title 42, implemented nationwide catch-and-release, and took 93 executive actions to throw open our border to the world.
...
The greatest invasion in history is taking place right here in our country—they are coming in from every corner of the earth, not just from South America, but from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East—they’re coming from everywhere, and this administration does nothing to stop them.
...
They are coming from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums, and terrorists at levels never seen before.
...
Meanwhile, our crime rate is going UP, while crime statistics all over the world are plunging. That’s because they’re delivering their murderers, drug dealers, terrorists, and criminals of all shapes and forms, into the United States.
...
We have become a dumping ground for the world, which is laughing at us. They think we’re stupid. They can’t believe what they’re getting away with, but getting away with it they are.
...
In Venezuela, crime is down 72 percent. In El Salvador, murders are down 70 percent. The world’s criminals are coming here, to a town near you—and are being sent by their governments, because their governments are smarter than ours.
...
Tonight, America, this is my vow: I will not let these killers and criminals into our country. I will keep our sons and daughters safe.
...
As we bring security to our streets, we will help bring stability to the world.
...
I was the first president in modern times to start NO NEW WARS.
...
There was peace in Europe and the Middle East. Under President Bush, Russia invaded Georgia. Under President Obama, Russia took Crimea. Under the current administration, Russia is after all of Ukraine. Under President Trump, Russia took nothing.
...
We defeated 100 percent of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, something that was going to take five years, and I did it in two months.
...
I stopped the missile launches from North Korea.
...
Iran was weak, broke, and wanted to make a deal—they were not spending money on Hamas, Hezbollah or other carriers of terror, and Iran was never going to have a nuclear weapon. Now, they can have one within 90 days, and they have $300 billion dollars to spread terror across the region.
...
Our opponents inherited a world at peace and turned it into a planet of war.
...
It began to unravel with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the worst humiliation in the history of our country. 13 heroic U.S. servicemembers were tragically and needlessly killed, 45 others were horrifically wounded, and $85 billion dollars’ worth of military equipment was left behind, along with many American citizens.
...
Emboldened by that disaster, Russia invaded Ukraine. Israel endured the worst attack in its history. Now China is circling Taiwan, and Russian warships and nuclear submarines are operating 60 miles off our coasts in Cuba, and the media doesn’t want to talk about it.
...
And to the entire world, we want our hostages back—and they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price.
...
With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness and chaos will be over.
...
We will replenish our military, and build an Iron Dome Missile Defense System to ensure that no enemy can strike our homeland—and this great Iron Dome will all be MADE IN THE USA.
...
We will unleash the power of American innovation—and as we do, we will soon be on the verge of finding the cures to cancer, Alzheimer’s, and many other diseases.
...
We will restore and renovate our nation’s once-great cities, making them SAFE, clean, and beautiful again–and that includes our nation’s capital in Washington D.C. We will be proud of our capital again.
...
America is on the cusp of a new Golden Age, but we must have the courage to seize it.
...
Just a few short days ago, my journey with you nearly ended. And yet here we are tonight, all gathered together, talking about the future, promise, and renewal of America. We live in a world of miracles.
...
None of us knows God’s plan, or where life’s adventure will take us. But if the events of last Saturday make anything clear, it is that every single moment we have on earth is a gift from God. We have to make the most of every day for the people and country we love.
...
For too long, our nation has settled for too little. You have been told to lower your expectations and to accept less for your families.
...
I am here tonight with the opposite message: Your expectations are not big enough. It is time to start expecting and demanding the best leadership in the world, leadership that is bold, dynamic, relentless, and fearless.
...
We are Americans. Ambition is our heritage. Greatness is our birthright.
But as long as our energies are spent fighting each other, our destiny will remain out of reach. We must instead take that energy and use it to realize our country’s true potential—and write our own thrilling chapter of the American Story.
...
Tonight, I ask for your partnership, for your support, and I am humbly asking for your vote. Every day, I will strive to honor the trust you have placed in me, and I will never let you down.
...
To all of the forgotten men and women who have been neglected, abandoned, and left behind, you will be forgotten no longer. We will press forward, and together, we will WIN, WIN, WIN.
...
Nothing will sway us. Nothing will slow us. And no one will stop us.
No matter what dangers come our way, no matter what obstacles lie in our path, we will keep striving toward our shared and glorious destiny—and WE WILL NOT FAIL.
...
Together, we will SAVE THIS COUNTRY, we will restore the Republic, and we will usher in the rich and wonderful tomorrows that our people truly deserve.
...
America’s future will be BIGGER, BETTER, BOLDER, BRIGHTER, HAPPIER, STRONGER, FREER, GREATER, and MORE UNITED than EVER BEFORE!
...
Thank you, God Bless You, God Bless Wisconsin, and God Bless the United States of America.
