Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), took their “Make America Safe Again” message to police departments in two battleground states on Aug. 20, pledging to improve circumstances for police officers.

The Republican candidates’ appearances are part of their campaign strategy while Democrats gather at their own nominating convention in Chicago.
