Trump Announces JD Vance as Running Mate
Vance's Transformation from Trump Critic to Stalwart Loyalist
Republican Donald Trump has selected JD Vance, Senator from Ohio and author of the bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy, as his running mate. Vance is a rising star in the party who has closely aligned himself with Trump in recent years after criticizing him forcefully.
Vance's transformation began with a meeting at Mar-a-Lago more than three years ago. He has since become a regular guest on Trump's favorite TV show, hosted by Tucker Carlson, and has been endorsed by Elon Musk and other key Trump allies.
Vance's selection makes him a relatively unusual figure in Trump's inner circle. He is one of the few who has publicly criticized Trump in the past. However, he has since become one of Trump's most vocal supporters, and his selection is a sign that Trump is looking to broaden his appeal to voters who may not have supported him in the past.
