Trump picks JD Vance for running mate – reports

JD Vance news

JD Vance, once a vocal critic of Donald Trump, has undergone a remarkable transformation to become the former president’s vice presidential running mate.

Initially gaining fame with his memoir Hillbilly Elegy, Vance was critical of Trump in 2016, but later became a staunch ally, leading to his current position on the Republican ticket and establishing himself as an early frontrunner for the 2028 presidential nomination.

Vance’s conservative voting record and Midwestern roots are expected to bolster the campaign’s appeal at the ballot box.

Born into a challenging environment in Middletown, Ohio, Vance overcame significant personal obstacles, including a mother struggling with addiction and an absent father.

Raised by his grandparents, Vance’s journey went from the US Marines to Yale Law School and then a successful career in venture capital.

His 2016 memoir not only made him a bestselling author but also positioned him as a commentator on Trump’s appeal to the white working class. Vance’s return to Ohio and eventual election to the Senate, supported by a significant donation from Peter Thiel and Trump’s endorsement, solidified his role in “Make America Great Again” politics, marking a significant shift from his earlier views.

  1. Another political chameleon
    I wouldn’t hold much hope for this unholy alliance
    World govt the Beast of Revelation 13:1
    That came up out of the sea non House of Israel humanity
    John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

      • It would be a refreshing change to actually see ‘old scripture’ as you put it, used correctly and in its proper context..

        • Obviously it is not for you
          Or not your time
          For all Israel are not of Israel
          I Am only speaking to the House of Israel
          Like the Bible
          John 8:43 “Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.”

  2. At least there is now the potential for a settlement in Ukraine as Trump and Putin will be open for meaningful talks. As to Israeli behaviour that remains to be seen. Assuming of course that the current political temperature in the US is allowed to cool down.

      • Yes, I get that and why the establishment has been trying to stop him by any means. Trump has already stated he will shut down the Ukraine operation and why the warmongers want him out of the picture. It is pretty clear the next few months will be interesting to say the least..

  3. I was hoping for Ben Carson or Tulsi Gabbard.

    Hillbilly effigy is a great movie. Great story.. Hopefully JD doesn’t let us down.

  4. Guy has said some great things that drive the left bonkers (which is encouraging), but most establishment politicians who were president of this and that committee at Yale usually have a bad track record. So I guess we’ll see if he becomes Pence 2.0

    It certainly doesn’t help that he looks like the kid from two and a half men 😆

  5. Should have been Tulsi. This choice is somewhat underwhelming and he better not turn out to be mike pence jnr. Also his linksto thiel are concerning to say the least

  6. In 2021, Peter Thiel gave $10 million to support Vance’s candidacy to the US Senate. Vance has been a Senator since January 2023 and now eighteen months later he is Vice President of the United States of America. At 39 years of age. Vance has led a charmed life and not the one expected from his humble beginnings. It may appear his allegiance has suddenly changed to Trump but I think he is a run with the hares and hunt with the hounds sort of guy. Trump didn’t seem overjoyed to be standing next to him. Maybe someone has the power to tell Trump who is VP will be. I wonder who that could be.
