MILWAUKEE — Teamsters President Sean O’Brien closed out the first night of the Republican National Convention with a pro-worker and anti-corporation message not common at major GOP gatherings.

“I travel all across this country to meet with my members every week,” Mr. O’Brien said. “You know what I see? An American worker being taken for granted. Workers being sold out to big banks, big tech, corporations and the elites.”

His speech was the first speech by a Teamsters president at an RNC ever, because unions have traditionally been a Democratic voting bloc.

It was the second huge moment of the day for the Republican crowd, which erupted into cheers earlier as Trump announced Vance, just 39, as his vice presidential pick, rewarding a one-time harsh critic who has become one of his most uncompromising supporters.

While Trump, 78, is increasingly confident of a shock return to the White House — despite multiple legal problems and two impeachments clouding his first term — President Joe Biden is reeling from weak polls and Democratic concerns over his health.

The standard-bearer for a new kind of populism that has come to the fore under Trump, Vance is also one of the least experienced VP picks in modern history.
