Former U.S. President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice presidential pick, supporting the use of antitrust laws to challenge Big Tech and combat online censorship of conservatives. Vance, a Republican U.S. senator from Ohio, has a background in law and venture capitalism, advocating for the breakup of tech giants like Google. Despite past criticism of Trump, Vance has aligned with him, emphasizing populist economic approaches. His selection has sparked both praise and criticism, with Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene supporting him while progressives express concerns over his stance on key issues like climate change and gun violence. Additionally, Vance's non-traditional GOP positions on healthcare include supporting drug price negotiation and opposing a complete repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
