Former President Donald Trump names Ohio Senator JD Vance to be his VP Nominee
In the 2024 election cycle, ex-President Donald Trump chose J.D. Vance, a senator from Ohio, to serve as his running mate. With this announcement now complete, the Republican ticket for President includes:
- Vance in recognition of his Marine Corps and business record.
- Strong backing for Trump over the past few years.
- Being an outside-the-beltway populist.
Once a vocal opponent of Trump’s candidacy during the 2016 primaries (The Hill) , Vance’s subsequent about-face made him one of the then-president’s most stalwart defenders throughout various legal battles. According to the News Team at GCA FORUMS, this pick is projected to generate even more enthusiasm around Trump’s campaign.
