 J.D. Vance came to national prominence when he wrote his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. He was elected to the Senate in 2022. At age 39, the Ohio senator would be the third youngest vice president in history and the youngest since Richard Nixon. A post on Truth Social has Donald Trump saying that through the rest of the campaign, Vance will be strongly focused on workers and farmers in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, states that will decide this election.
