Vice President JD Vance Delivers Powerful Keynote at GOP Dinner in Lima, Ohio
Lima, Ohio – Vice President JD Vance made a notable return to his home state of Ohio on Tuesday, where he headlined the Ohio Republican Party’s sold-out dinner in Lima. Over 1,000 GOP leaders and grassroots conservatives from across the state gathered for what was dubbed an “evening of support.”
Vance began with light humor, referencing global affairs, before delving into serious topics such as U.S. military strategy, recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and President Trump’s commitment to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
He outlined the “Trump Doctrine”, emphasizing America’s need to define its interests, engage in tough negotiations, and, if required, apply overwhelming military force to protect national security.
The Vice President also addressed pressing issues like illegal immigration, border security, and the economic implications of Trump-era tariffs.
Born in Middletown, Ohio, Vance’s inspiring life journey from a troubled youth to becoming a best-selling author, venture capitalist, U.S. Senator, and now Vice President, resonated strongly with attendees.
His 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy”, which became a national bestseller, significantly influenced his political rise, cementing his relationship with the Trump family. With support from Donald Trump, Vance returned to Ohio, focused on fighting the opioid crisis, and launched a political career that led to his 2021 Senate victory—powered by Trump’s endorsement.
Now as Vice President of the United States, Vance continues to share his conservative vision for America and remains deeply connected to Ohio’s political landscape.
