The abbreviated Republican National Convention continued tonight in Tampa, Florida.  Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan officially accepted the VP nomination.

Ryan told supporters, “I accept the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us, with opportunity for the young and security for the old – and I know that we are ready."

He also criticized the Obama Administration and their handling of the economy, "Right now, 23 million men and women are struggling to find work… Nearly one in six Americans is living in poverty… So here's the question: Without a change in leadership, why would the next four years be any different from the last four years? We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years".

Our story features two videos.  The first is a recap of Ryan's speech from ABC News.

 

The second video is Ryan's speech at the Texas GOP Convention, from June of this year.
