In 2016, Trump shocked the political world by winning Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. He did so by convincing voters that he was more in tune with the concerns of blue-collar voters than Hillary Clinton. This year, polls show Trump trailing Biden in several of the swing states he won in 2016, and the second night of the RNC appeared to be an effort to reverse that.

Speakers included ordinary Americans like Jason Joyce, a lobster fisherman from Swan’s Island, Maine.

“I have to confess: I didn’t support Trump in 2016. Skeptical that he shared my conservative views, I expected him to flip-flop on his campaign promises, ” Joyce said. “But he has followed through on his promises, including last week, when he brokered a deal to end EU [European Union] tariffs of 8 percent on Maine live lobsters and up to 20 percent on Maine lobster products — which is great news for Maine's lobstermen. ”

The deal was meant in part to offset large retaliatory tariffs imposed by China on imports of American lobsters in its ongoing trade war with the United States.

Cris Peterson, a dairy farmer from Grantsburg, Wisc., made the case that, despite retaliatory Chinese tariffs put in place in 2019 that have caused U. S. dairy exports to plummet, Trump is the candidate who is on her side.
