Trump VP pick pledges ‘new path’ at Republican convention

Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick JD Vance lit up the Republican National Convention Wednesday with a speech leaning heavily on his personal story as he sought to connect his turbulent upbringing with the hardships faced by millions of Americans. In his first speech since being tapped as Trump’s vice presidential nominee on Monday, Vance offered a powerful account of growing up poor in Ohio, with no father at home and a mother hooked on drugs.
