Former US President Donald Trump announced Monday that Ohio Senator JD Vance will be his running mate in the presidential elections this November. He was speaking at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin.
The 39-year-old Ivy League graduate, Vance, will be the Vice President of the US, if Donald Trump wins the November 5 election. The Republican National Convention is happening in Milwaukee.
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said, “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.”
Trump added that “J.D.’s book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country.”
Vance has had the support of several Trump’s aide, including former adviser Steve Bannon, Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr. who have praised him for “pushing the Republican Party to embrace a more hands-off foreign policy approach and for supporting trade barriers,” according to Reuters.
Though Vance has been critical of Donald Trump in the past, when the latter won the US Presidential race in 2016 against Hillary Clinton. Vance called him him an “idiot” and “America’s Hitler,” among other epithets.
But as soon as Vance geared up to run for the Senate office in Ohio in 2022, he became a cheerleader of Trump, even when some of the Republican Senators declined to support the latter.
At 39, Vance is greatly focused upon the young electorate considering President Joe Biden as one of the nominee at 81 and Donald Trump at 78.
