Vance drew a direct line on Wednesday from his traumatic upbringing in southwest Ohio to his new standing as the top lieutenant in Donald Trump’s conservative movement, promising the Republican National Convention that he would bring his working-class roots to Washington and help fight ‘for the people who built this country,’” the New York Times reports.
