Former President Donald Trump has selected Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate for the 2024 presidential contest. Vance was first elected to the Senate in 2022 after receiving an endorsement from Trump in a contested Republican primary. Vance, who penned his memoir Hillbilly Elegy about life in Appalachia, once described himself as a Never Trumper, but when he was running for Senate, Vance later said that he regretted those comments and was a supporter of Trump. Throughout this year's campaign, Vance has appeared on the trail with Trump and in support of him at various events across the country. He also traveled to New York City during Trump's hush money trial, where Vance spoke out vehemently against the charges that prosecutors were pursuing.
