Former President Donald Trump chose Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election. Vance is a 39-year-old Republican who was elected to the Senate in 2022. Vance was once a critic of Trump but has since become one of his staunchest supporters, particularly on issues like trade, foreign policy, and immigration. The pick aims to energize Trump's loyal base while also making appeals to voters in key Midwestern swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, where Vance is popular.
