Trump Names JD Vance as Vice Presidential Pick

Submitted by MAGA

Posted 54 days ago

President Trump has announced his Vice Presidential pick, and it's none other than Ohio Senator JD Vance. The announcement comes after much speculation and anticipation, with Vance being a favorite among Trump's MAGA base.

Vance, a Marine, Yale Law grad, and venture capitalist, has been a close ally of the president and a frequent target of the Left. He gained national attention with his best-selling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," which detailed his mother's struggle with addiction and the opioid crisis in small-town America.

The announcement comes just days after Trump was the target of an assassination attempt, which he miraculously survived. Vance was quick to blame President Joe Biden for the rhetoric leading to the attempt on Trump's life.

The former president is expected to make the announcement at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week. However, it remains unclear if the other rumored VP favorites have had security sent to their homes, or if the same has been bestowed on fellow Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown.


Trump has been making calls to world leaders, journalists, and allies since the assassination attempt, demonstrating that he is already back at work. He is expected to make his first public appearance on Monday, where he may announce his vice presidential pick before his big set-piece speech on the final night of the convention.

The convention is expected to be a more muted affair than originally planned, with Trump's speech being altered to reflect the recent events. "The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger," Trump told the Washington Examiner. "Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now."

Vance's selection as Trump's running mate marks an extraordinary rise for the 39-year-old, who was brought up in the crushing poverty of southern Ohio by his heroin-addicted mother and fierce grandmother. He has become one of Trump's most visible defenders on television and a hero to the hardline MAGA movement with his message of America First economic nationalism.

Whether or not Vance is officially named Trump's running mate, he is expected to play a big role at the RNC this week. Trump is set to make a once-unlikely pivot to unifying the nation after the shooting, and Vance's selection as his running mate is sure to be a key part of that strategy.
