Donald Trump has picked Ohio senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, choosing a grassroots favorite ahead of more seasoned political operators.
The former president left it until the last possible moment, using all his showman skills to leave the world guessing, before opting for 39-year-old Vance after the Republican National Convention had already begun in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Vance swept to national attention when he published his bestselling memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy,' in 2016, the year Trump was elected president.
He has been a senator for less than two years but has established himself as one of the fiercest defenders of Trump’s 'Make America Great Again' agenda, especially when it comes to foreign policy, trade and immigration.
The former venture capitalist and U.S. Marine had initially been critical of Trump.

I wonder how much Vance’s age had to do with this?
Good! Congratulations, sir!
Well, the pro-life movement is officially dead in the Republican party. Those people who are in jail right now better try to get as much money that as they can and try to appeal because they won’t be getting out anytime soon.
Will he pick conservative judges if Trump dies?
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Whoops
You might want to delete that post. You could not be more wrong

JD Vance, Trump’s VP pick, has opposed abortion and LGBTQ+ rights
Is Vance really a MAGA favorite?
Does he have any gravy train to get along with the deep state?
Hey Troll,
Take your lies elsewhere!
JD is our Senator and we love him- quite a man of substance, despite his young age. Once people learn is story, they will be intrigued.
Well, bye.
I don’t know much about Vance other than he had been in the military.
But what does your statement mean?
“Those people who are in jail right now better try to get as much money that as they can and try to appeal because they won’t be getting out anytime soon.”
YAY!!!
He’s young, Trump can train him.
Those are NOT the only two issue the country needs to care about
Well, that could PO some of the gopE types. Have you watched the biopic about JD? Pretty interesting.
I think Trump realized that if he were killed before he had selected a running mate, then the SWAMP would select the candidate. This way, even if he’s killed, he’s put his stamp on whatever administration follows his death.
Now, if he stays in office (If I recall) 18 months and then resigns, then the Vice President can serve out Trump’s remaining term and potentially, two more complete terms. That would, given the right man, enable the Republicans to reverse much of the damage done by the Democrats in the last twenty years.
39...and he will bring some young ones with him. He’ll have 4 years of training by the best.
Hopefully Vance doesn’t try to import more people from India like his family.
