Former President Donald Trump has announced Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election. Vance, a bestselling author and first-term senator, gained national attention with his memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy,' which was adapted into a Netflix film. The choice has garnered mixed reactions; while Ohio politicians and Republicans praised Vance's selection, some Democrats criticized his past harsh remarks about Trump. Vance, the first millennial on a major-party ticket, appeared at the Republican National Convention to a warm reception. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine highlighted Vance's relatability to struggling Americans and his advocacy for key issues. Vance's nomination aims to bring a new generational perspective and energy to Trump's campaign.
