Wednesday, August 26 Mike Pence is expected to hype up President Trump Vice President Mike Pence takes his turn at the podium tonight and is expected to tell the nation why Trump should be reelected. Vice President Mike Pence wins the spotlight at the Republican convention on Wednesday, though he may spend much of his speech praising the star of show, President Donald Trump. Pence's remarks close the third day of the convention and are likely to underscore the main themes of the week-long confab: Lavish praise for Trump combined with harsh denunciations of challenger Joe Biden and what the Trump team has labeled "socialist" policies of Democrats. "Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have been overtaken by the radical left," Pence told Republican delegates on Monday after they formally re-nominated him for the vice presidency. Previewing his acceptance speech, Pence proclaimed a Republican agenda for "lower taxes, free market economics, secure borders, (and) right to life." He also said "this party will always stand with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line of law enforcement."
