J.D. Vance chosen as Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate

Just two days after surviving an assassination attempt, Donald Trump announced that his running mate for the upcoming election would be J.D. Vance, an Ohio native and former Marine Corps officer.

Interestingly, the 39-year-old politician, known for his book “Hillbilly Elegy,” had previously criticized Trump, even likening him to “America’s Hitler.” However, Vance deleted past tweets expressing such sentiments as he geared up for his political career, which gained traction after successfully running for Senate on a platform that included combating opioid addiction in Ohio, an issue close to his heart due to personal family struggles.

Despite their prior disagreements, Trump and Vance now stand as strong allies. Trump announced on Truth Social, “After careful consideration of many talented individuals, I believe Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio is the best choice for Vice President of the United States.”

Following the recent attempt on Trump’s life, Vance has shown unwavering support for his running mate. Trump expressed gratitude on social media, stating, “Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. It was by God’s grace alone that we were spared. We must remain fearless, steadfast in our faith, and resolute against evil. Let us stand united and show our true American character — strong, determined, and unwavering in the face of adversity.”

Trump concluded with a reaffirmation of his love for the country and his anticipation of addressing the nation from Wisconsin in the coming days.
