J.D. Vance: Youngest Vice-President Since Nixon | N18G
Показать описание
Republican Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio and author of the bestselling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," as his running mate, elevating a politician who once criticized the former president in acid terms but has since become one of his most stalwart defenders.
The selection of James David Vance could help boost turnout for Trump in the Nov. 5 election, particularly in some of the "Rust Belt" states where the election will likely be decided. The Ohio native is deeply popular with the Republican candidate's base, and his populist message is well-suited for states that have significant working-class white populations and have suffered from de-industrialization.
A staunch conservative, Vance is unlikely to bring many new voters into Trump's corner, however, and may even alienate some moderates. Some of Trump's supporters had pushed him to select a woman or person of color as his No. 2 to expand a coalition that skews toward white men.
At 39, Vance represents a younger generation in an election that features a 78-year-old Trump.
Vance's rapid ascent has been unusual for American politics. After an impoverished childhood in southern Ohio, he served in the Marine Corps, won a scholarship to Yale Law School and later worked as a venture capitalist in San Francisco.
Vance himself was harshly critical of Trump before and after Trump's 2016 election win against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, calling him an "idiot" and "America's Hitler," among other epithets.
But as Vance geared up to run for the U.S. Senate in Ohio in 2022, he transformed into one of the former president's most consistent defenders, supporting Trump even when some Senate colleagues declined to do so.
