Other VP contenders included North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Tim Scott of South Carolina.
Although Vance is from Ohio, a state that shifted from battleground status to being firmly carried by the former president in the 2016 and 2020 elections, his selection is anticipated to enhance Trump’s appeal among working-class Democrats.
James David Vance, commonly known as JD Vance, is an American politician who has served as the junior United States senator from Ohio since 2023.
A Republican, he gained widespread recognition with his 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. Vance was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022 and took office on January 3, 2023.
Vance, who resides in Cincinnati, relocated to San Francisco after completing law school and worked as a principal at a venture capital firm owned by billionaire Peter Thiel.
Thiel later became a significant financial backer of Vance’s successful 2022 Senate campaign.
