MILWAUKEE (AP) — Republicans were welcoming JD Vance as Donald Trump’s running mate on the same night devoted to blasting President Joe Biden’s leadership on the world stage.

Republicans marched eagerly into culture wars and hailed former adviser Peter Navarro as a conquering hero hours after he was released from prison Wednesday. Women close to Trump explained his softer side. And Gold Star families hailed Trump as a compassionate commander in chief.
