Vance is a rising star in the party who has closely aligned himself with Trump in recent years, after criticizing him forcefully in 2016.
Donald Trump has chosen Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate, selecting a rising star in the party and previously outspoken Trump critic who in recent years has closely aligned himself with the former president.If elected in November, Vance, 39, would be one of the youngest vice presidents in history. He is a relative political newcomer, winning his Senate seat in 2022 after rising to prominence as an author who wrote a best-selling memoir.
“I think so many politicians are lost in the establishment,” he wrote. “They fail their constituents, their country, and ultimately – they fail themselves. It’s an industry of broken promises and corrupt practices. But I will never stoop to that level. My roots – my family – my hometown – are what got me here. The good and the bad.”
“He makes some feel better for a bit,” he wrote. “But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.”headlined “Why Trump’s Antiwar Message Resonates with White America.” Vance also sent a message that year to his law school roommate, Josh McLaurin, saying that he went “back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad or that he’s America’s Hitler.” McLaurin had reached out to Vance about writing an opinion piece together at the time.
Now, his vehement defenses of Trump have earned praise from the former president and others who have seen Vance as an intellectual force for Trump. In May, Donald Trump Jr. shared and celebrated a CNN appearance when Vance argued that Trump’s conviction in the hush money case was politically motivated.
