Trump started the Republican gathering by announcing Vance as his choice for vice president. He ended the event with a speech calling for unity after a shooting on July 13 in Pennsylvania, which resulted in Trump getting a bloodied ear and the death of a man in the crowd.
“I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America,” Trump said Thursday night in what was the longest convention speech in modern history at just under 93 minutes.
Michigan is one of the crucial swing states expected to determine the outcome of the presidential election.
In 2016, Trump barely won Pennsylvania by a little over 10,000 votes. However, in the 2020 election, Democrat Joe Biden managed to flip the state back, winning by a margin of 154,000 votes to secure the presidency.
Accompanied by Vance, Trump is set to give a speech in Grand Rapids, a traditionally Republican area that has shown a shift towards the Democratic party in recent elections.
Trump’s choice of Vance was seen as a move to gain support among so-called Rust Belt voters in places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio who helped Trump notch his surprise 2016 victory.
Vance specifically mentioned those places during his acceptance speech at the convention, stressing his roots growing up poor in small-town Ohio and pledging not to forget working-class people whose “jobs were sent overseas and children were sent to war”.

Biden has insisted he is not quitting, and has attempted to turn the focus back towards Trump, saying on Friday that Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican convention showcased a “dark vision for the future”.
The 81-year-old Democratic incumbent, who appeared in Detroit this month, is isolating at his beach home in Delaware after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
Grand Rapids is the largest city in Kent County, one of three Michigan counties that Trump won in 2016 but Biden flipped in 2020.
It’s also an area where Nikki Haley secured a substantial number of votes in the Republican primary in February, a group of voters that both presidential campaigns are now hoping to pick up.
US Representative Hillary Scholten, a Democrat representing Grand Rapids, is among the growing number of lawmakers calling on Biden to exit the race after a disastrous debate performance.
