Wednesday evening's featured speaker, Pence argued that Democratic leaders are allowing lawlessness to prevail from coast to coast. He and others described cities wracked by violence, though protests in most locations have been largely peaceful.
As their convention nears its conclusion on Thursday, Republicans are seeking to reconcile their depiction of President Donald Trump as a smooth, stable leader with the reality that the United States is facing a series of crises that include the demonstrations, a potentially catastrophic hurricane and a raging pandemic that is killing more than 1,000 Americans a day.
Positioning himself as a potential heir to Trump in 2024, Pence delivered sharp attacks against Biden, but also presented an optimistic vision of the country's future. He spoke from Baltimore's Fort McHenry, where an 1814 battle inspired the National Anthem -- which has been at the centre of a cultural debate, fueled by Trump, over athletes who kneel rather than stand in protest of racial injustice.
Besides Pence, there was no major headline speaker and few boldface names. George W. Bush, the sole living former Republican president, isn't expected to address the convention. Mitt Romney, the party's 2012 nominee who has emerged as a Trump foe, is also absent from the lineup.
Sure, but Pence wasnt shot 7 times in the back in front of his kids, right? ... ARREST THE COPS RESPONSIBLE IN THESE SHOOTINGS
