Here are five key moments from Wednesday night.
Vice President Pence warns that Americans "won't be safe" if Biden wins.
While accepting the Republican vice-presidential nomination, Mike Pence painted a dark picture of what the nation would look like if he and President Trump lose November's general election, warning that “you won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America.”
Pence noted that Biden "didn't say one word" last week at the Democratic National Convention about the violence in American cities and then declared: “We will have law and order on the streets of this country."
The vice president emphasized that he and Trump “know the men and women that put on the uniform of law enforcement are the best of us" and said “the American people know we don't have to choose between supporting law enforcement and standing with African American neighbors to improve the quality of life in our cities and towns.”
