J.D. Vance, 39, is a venture capitalist and author of the bestselling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy." He was elected to the Ohio Senate in 2022 with the support of former US President Donald Trump.
His running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, was once a harsh critic of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, but will likely continue to promote the former president's populist policies.
"After careful consideration and deliberation, and taking into account the incredible talents of many others, I have determined that the person best qualified to serve as Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the great state of Ohio," he said. Trump on the Truth Social platform. Despite Vance's long history of harsh criticism of Trump, his appointment as running mate will further increase his profile. Shortly after Vance's election at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, delegates celebrating the party's election wrote Vance's name in magic marker on Trump's sign.
According to CNN, the senator's appeal to working-class voters is seen as crucial to winning key battleground states in November. Sources say that Vance, who grew up in a poor small town in Ohio's Rust Belt, and his wife Usha Chirukuri, the daughter of Indian immigrants, could appeal to minority voters.
From Foe to Friend
Vance, 39, is a venture capitalist and author of the best-selling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy." He was endorsed by President Trump in a controversial Republican primary and won his 2022 senate seat.
But six years ago, in the 2016 election, he was a leading spokesman for the "Never Trump" movement, favoring social media posts that harshly criticized Trump, and fully documenting the history of public opposition to him.
But in 2022, President Trump has come to view Vance as an ally after their concerted efforts to support "Make America Great Again." The senator also proved his loyalty by standing by Trump's side during the hush money trial in a New York court.
Vance is a vocal opponent of foreign aid, opposing a bill to increase U.S. aid to Ukraine, which is in the midst of its war with Russia. He also brings ties to traditionally liberal Silicon Valley.
National celebrity, "voice of the Rust Belt"
It doesn't hurt that Vance is already a national celebrity, thanks to his bestselling memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," which he first conceived while at Yale Law School. Published in 2016, the book about Trump's roots in rural Kentucky and working-class Ohio became a cultural talking point following Trump's landslide election victory that year.
