Sen. JD Vance, tapped as former President Donald Trump’s running mate, will accept the nomination for vice president on Night 3 of the Republican National Convention. The Ohio senator will address the RNC, introduce his family and lay out his vision for a Trump-Vance administration.

Trump’s previous running mate, Mike Pence, has said that Trump endangered his family on Jan. 6, 2021, when supporters launched an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol after Trump encouraged his then-vice president to overturn the results of the election. Pence also ran for president in the 2024 primaries, and said in March he would not endorse Trump.
