 News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Rich Thomason. Former President Trump got a hero's welcome on day one of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Mr. Trump is now the GOP's 2024 standard bearer, and he's chosen Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate. GOP delegates cheered as Senator Vance entered the convention hall where he was formally nominated. J.D. is a living embodiment of the American dream.
