Donald Trump Selects J.D. Vance as 2024 Running Mate with Son’s Endorsement

Jul 23, 2024, 12:28 AM

Donald Trump has selected Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate for the 2024 presidential campaign. Vance, an Ohio senator, has long-standing financial connections that are expected to play a significant role in the campaign. Trump's choice of Vance is seen as a sign of Wall Street's waning power. Vance will face off against Kamala Harris, who is likely to top the Democratic ticket, although her vice-presidential pick remains unknown. Trump cited his good chemistry with Vance, Vance's advocacy for the everyday American worker, and his son’s endorsement as reasons for the selection. The decision has prompted some Trump allies to reconsider the choice.
