Senator J.D.
Vance of Ohio, the Republican nominee for vice president, says he will be buried in Kentucky.
During his acceptance speech last night at the Republican National Convention, Vance talked about his family ties to Kentucky.
Here are some of his remarks.
Now, 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.
And I, I guess standing here tonight, it's just gotten weirder and weirder.
Honey.
But but but that's what she was getting.
Now, that's cemetery plot in eastern Kentucky is near my family's ancestral home.
And like a lot of people, we came from the mountains of Appalachia into the factories of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Now, that's Kentucky coal country, one of the ten.
Now it's one of the ten poorest counties in the entire United States of America.
They're very hardworking people and they're very good people.
They're the kind of people who would give you the shirt off their back, even if they can't afford enough to eat.
And our media calls them privileged and looks 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.
Two members of the Kentucky General Assembly say they see a change in Donald Trump since the assassination attempt on him last Saturday.
State senators Philip Wheeler and Shelly Funky Frohnmayer are both delegates to the Republican National Convention.
Wheeler told the Lexington Herald Leader that Trump appeared to be, quote, moved.
And Frohnmayer says there is an air of humility and gentleness at the convention.
Former President Trump gives his acceptance speech tonight, and you can see it right here on Katie.
