On Monday, the former President Donald Trump named Sen. J.D. Vance (R – OH) as his running mate for 2024 on Monday.

The moment was awaited just as Trump received his formal nomination as the Republican Presidential nominee at the Republican National Convention held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

After much deliberation, thought and consideration of the many talents of others, I’ve decided that Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio. J.D. J.D. J.D.’s book “Hillbilly Elegy” became a Major Best Seller and Movie as it championed hardworking men and woman of our Country. J.D. J.D.

….As vice president, J.D. J.D. will continue to fight to protect our Constitution, will stand by our Troops and will do all he can to make America great again. Congratulations to Senator J.D. Vance, Usha (his wife), who graduated also from Yale Law School and their three beautiful kids. MAGA2024!

Donald Trump Jr. posted shortly after.

Biden has the worst vice president in our history.

The President has one of the youngest and most dynamic leaders in the nation.

@JDVance1.

We have also incredible patriots such as Governor @DougBurgum and Senator @marcorubio who will work tirelessly to get my dad elected in November!

Never before has our party been so united!

Vance, 39 years old, became a senator from Ohio in 2023. He is seen by many as the obvious heir to the America First Movement, which was ushered in with Trump’s 2016 election.

Matthew Boyle, the Washington Bureau Chief of Breitbart’s News, reported recently that Vance will be the first Marine on a presidential ballot and the first millennial.

Assassination attempts on Trump on Sat. have highlighted the urgency of choosing a vice-presidential candidate.

Marco Rubio, Senator (R-FL), and Doug Bergum, North Dakota Doug Bergum (R) were also considered.

Vance gave an exclusive interview to Breitbart in 2021.
