He relishes the spotlight and has shown he can energise donors.
Mr Vance, 39, is a political newcomer who entered the Senate only last year, but he has spent that time methodically ascending the conservative firmament.Republican Senator from Ohio JD Vance arrives to accept his vice presidential nomination on the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 15.At 39, Mr Vance will represent a younger generation in an election that features Trump and President Joe Biden, 81.
Mr Vance, a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley who became best known for writing the memoir Hillbilly Elegy, did not forget it. He quickly emerged as a top defender of the former president in the halls of Congress and on television, taking his cues from Trump while frequently bucking the priorities of long-time Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
In Vance, Trump, 78, has tapped an ambitious ideologue who relishes the spotlight and has shown he can energise donors on behalf of the presumptive nominee. His youth – there are nearly 40 years separating them, and Vance is the first millennial nominated to a major-party ticket – could prove a boon to the ticket, as voters have expressed concern over both Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden’s ages.
