MILWAUKEE — Wednesday’s roster at the Republican National Convention presented some controversial speakers, including former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, fresh from serving a four-month prison sentence for ignoring a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee. And it capped the evening with Sen. JD Vance of Ohio giving his acceptance speech for the vice presidential nomination.

Here are some highlights from Wednesday in Milwaukee.
