Vance's speech, delivered to an enthusiastic crowd on Sunday, outlined his role in the Trump ticket as the 2024 election date draws near, with the VP hopeful declaring that boosting the former president's campaign was the easiest job in the world, as the Daily Wire reports.
Currently serving as a senator from Ohio, Vance spent his time on stage priming supporters for Trump's speech. He mentioned past events and notable figures associated with the venue to underscore the importance of their campaign's visit to Madison Square Garden.
Vance called upon the historical energy of the location, recalling events such as the legendary boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and concerts by Elvis Presley that had the audience swelling to immense numbers.
It's a setting he described as synonymous with monumental bouts and victories, relating them to the upcoming electoral challenge.
Highlighting the strategic importance of New York, he conveyed the symbolism of their campaign's stop at this venue -- just days before the election slated for Nov. 5 -- as a significant element in their nationwide campaign effort.
