Ohio Sen. JD Vance has been chosen as Donald Trump's running mate for the 2024 presidential election, propelling his memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy' to the top of Amazon's best-seller list. Vance's selection has reshaped his political trajectory, evident in his increased security detail and prime placement at the Republican National Convention. Vance's wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, has also garnered attention for her Indian-American heritage and supportive role. The campaign will focus heavily on the Midwest, targeting blue-collar voters. Vance’s alignment with Trump's 'America First' movement and his unique personal story, including his Marine service and Silicon Valley career, are key components of his appeal. Despite once being a vocal critic of Trump, Vance now stands as a symbol of the evolving Republican Party.
