The Republican National Convention has seen big names like Donald Trump and veep nominee J.D. Vance dominating the headlines, but other speeches from lesser-known figures have been equally impactful in shedding light on the factors behind Trump’s popularity.
One such speaker is Anne Fundner, a California mother whose son tragically died in 2022 after ingesting fentanyl-laced pills. In her speech, she directly blamed Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and every Democrat supporting open borders for her son’s death.
Fundner’s words cut to the core of the issue, highlighting how the Biden administration’s open-border policy has fueled America’s fentanyl crisis, with drugs entering the country via Mexican cartels.
Another compelling speaker at the RNC was Madeline Brame, a mother who criticized the lenient stance on crime taken by left-leaning politicians. Her son, an Army veteran, was killed by criminals in New York, with charges against the perpetrators being downgraded and dismissed by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
Brame’s speech underscores the consequences of leftist policies on public safety and the need for accountability and justice.
Gold Star families of the 13 US service members killed during Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal also took the stage, emphasizing Trump’s recognition of their sacrifice compared to Biden’s indifference.
These stories serve as poignant reminders of Biden’s failures at home and abroad, highlighting the importance of standing up for America’s values and ideals.
Despite the challenges ahead, the spirit of optimism and belief in America’s greatness are driving forces behind the Trump campaign’s momentum.
