Less than 48 hours after surviving an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump has selected Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, as his running mate – minutes after officially securing the Republican nomination for President at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Vance, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022, has an inspiring story, as Trump highlighted in a post on his Truth Social account announcing his choice.
“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association.”
