Trump Announces JD Vance as Running Mate
Trump’s Veepstakes in Final Stages
Author, Senator, and Former ‘Trump Whisperer’ Joins Ticket
Former President Donald Trump has named US Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate, adding an author and senator to the ticket who was once known as a “Trump whisperer” for his support of the former president.
Trump’s choice of Vance, who is considered a rising star in the Republican Party, further elevates the Ohio Republican who has adopted the former president’s populist message.
The announcement comes as Trump’s process of choosing a running mate has entered its final stages in a frenzied and increasingly theatrical fashion. With the Republican National Convention approaching, Trump has met privately to discuss his running mate search with a number of potential candidates, including former Vice President Mike Pence and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.
Vance, who won a contentious Republican primary in Ohio earlier this year, has been a vocal supporter of Trump and has echoed the former president’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen. He has also been critical of the Biden administration, particularly on issues such as immigration and the economy.
