During the delegate roll call at the Republican National Convention on July15, President Trump announced his Vice President pick as Ohio Senator JD Vance. The announcement was made on Truth Social, Trump’s social media company.
“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond….” Donald J. Trump
The buildup to President Trump’s pick was dramatic, with both Senator Marco Rubio and Governor Doug Burgum out of the running with the infamous “no” phone calls as the RNC convention got underway.
Vance, a former venture capitalist and the author of the bestselling memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” before running for elective office, was one of a handful of Republicans considered top running mate contenders. That group included North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Tim Scott of South Carolina.
While Vance hails from Ohio, a one-time battleground state the former president comfortably carried in the 2016 and 2020 elections, the senator’s selection is expected to boost Trump among working-class Democrats, especially across the Rust Belt, who otherwise might have been supporters of President Biden, according to multiple experts who spoke with Fox News Digital as Trump was weighing his options.
Vance grew up in a working-class family in a small city in southwestern Ohio. His parents divorced when he was young, and as his mother struggled for years with drug and alcohol abuse, Vance was raised in part by his maternal grandparents. Fox digital
Senator Vance is a US Marine veteran from the Iraq War and has both business and military experience. Even though he was at first critical of Trump’s first term, he later reversed that and apologized for saying it. He has since been a stalwart proponent of the America First agenda.
With his experience, he should be fully capable of taking the reins should anything, God forbid, happen to President Trump. But keep your prayer closet handy as we move forward to November.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
