Milwaukee — J. D. Vance was met with raucous cheers and chants of “USA, USA” when he entered the convention hall Monday evening after being announced as Donald Trump’s running mate. When Mitch McConnell dared to announce his home state’s delegates for Trump earlier that day in that same convention hall, he was greeted with boos.
That a freshman senator and sharp-elbowed critic of long-standing party orthodoxy was given a hero’s welcome in Milwaukee, while the longest-serving Senate leader in history was jeered at, says something profound about the future of the GOP.
