In an announcement on Truth Social, Donald Trump has announced that Ohio Senator JD Vance has been selected as the Republican Vice Presidential Nominee to be Trump's running mate..Other frontrunners, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, were reportedly told earlier in the day that they would not be chosen as the nominees..Vance, a newcomer to national politics, has only been a senator for two years, first being elected in the 2022 midterms. Trump selected Vance probably for his wide-ranging connections to the tech industry, his young age—39—and his ability to perform well in tough media interviews..Vance's rise began when he released his memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," where he reflects on his upbringing and growing up in a low-income family involved in violence and addiction in Middletown, Ohio – part of America's Rust Belt..Vance will also be an effective communicator in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin..Contributor to this article: Alexander Korfiatis.
