On the third night of the Republican National Convention, viewers tuned in to CNN to watch Vice President Mike Pence deliver his speech as the Republican Party's nominee for Vice President. The speech was delivered from Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, and was the second keynote address of the evening, following a speech by Second Lady Karen Pence.
Pence's speech followed a number of other Republican speakers, including Kellyanne Conway, who praised President Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and described him as a champion for women's rights, and Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel, who emphasized the need for law and order and criticized Joe Biden's record on crime.
In his speech, Pence focused on the accomplishments of the Trump administration, describing Trump as a president who has kept his promises and championed the interests of the American people. He also spoke at length about his own values and the importance of faith in his life.
Pence's speech was well-received by the Republican base, with many praising his eloquence and passion for his values. Some viewers were critical of his record on LGBTQ rights and other social issues, however, and expressed frustration at his lack of acknowledgement of the ongoing protests against systemic racism in the country.
Overall, Pence's speech was a reflection of the broader themes of the Republican National Convention: a focus on patriotism, law and order, and reaffirmation of President Trump's accomplishments. Whether or not it will help to garner support for the Trump-Pence ticket in the upcoming election remains to be seen.
