President Trump on Monday announced his choice for Vice President: 40-year-old Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.
Trump made his announcement on Truth Social:
“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond….”
Earlier today, it was reported that Sen. Marco Rubio and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum were no longer being considered.
Joe Hoft recently spoke at the Make Oregon Great Again event in Medford. He is the twin brother of Jim Hoft, the founder and editor of The Gateway Pundit. Joe Hoft compiled a list of reactions of numerous Republican leaders about choosing J.D. Vance for Vice President.

Republicans are praising President Donald Trump’s great pick of Senator J.D. Vance as the Vice Presidential nominee.
Governor Glenn Youngkin: “Congratulations to [Senator J.D. Vance] on your nomination to be the next Vice President of the United States! His passion for America’s prosperity, service as a U.S. Marine, and commitment to our commonsense conservative values are what we need for a stronger America.”
Governor Doug Burgum: “[President Donald Trump] is the strongest leader to enter the political arena in modern American history! Today he selected [Senator J.D. Vance] as his running mate, whose small town roots and service to country make him a powerful voice for the America First Agenda. I look forward to campaigning for the Trump-Vance ticket to Make America Great Again!”
House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik: “President Trump made a strong VP choice to win this November and govern to save America. J.D. Vance is a strong America First leader and proven conservative. I have enjoyed getting to know J.D. on the campaign trail as surrogates for President Trump and I look forward to campaigning and working with him closely in the months and years ahead. I am humbled and honored to have been considered by President Trump throughout this process. Thank you to my constituents in NY-21, House Republican Conference colleagues, and family for their love, support, and encouragement. As I have always said, I will proudly work my very hardest to elect President Trump and Vice President Vance this November to win the White House, flip the Senate, and expand the House Republican Majority.”
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “Congratulations to Senator Vance on being America’s next Vice President! He’s a businessman, a Marine, and a proud son of Ohio. I know he’s going to do great things by President Trump’s side.”
Senator Roger Marshall: “I couldn’t be more proud of [Senator J.D. Vance]. Trump made the perfect choice. JD is not only a colleague of mine, but he’s become a trusted friend that I have gotten to know very well. At this hour in America, we need a new generation of fighters, and there’s no better name to aid President Trump than JD Vance. He will be fearless in dismantling the radical Left’s chokehold on the federal government that is plaguing our nation.”
Senator Marsha Blackburn: “JD is a true freedom fighter, who will champion the issues important to Americans: secure borders, safer communities, lower taxes, a lethal fighting force, and the rule of law.”
Senator Eric Schmitt: “A working class kid from a small midwestern town offers a sorely needed perspective in the executive branch of our American government. He has become a close personal friend during our time together in the Senate and he is a tireless leader for working people in this country. He understands what makes America great. JD is a star in the Senate and he’s going to make a terrific vice president.”
Congressman Byron Donalds: “Congratulations to [Senator J.D. Vance] on being the VP nominee. JD is an American Patriot, and he has my full support. I am all in to make Trump-Vance the winning ticket this November!”
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: “A great pick. He’ll be a fantastic Vice President…I’m excited about the ticket and I’m excited about what this means for America in the years to come.”
Senator Lindsey Graham: “Senator J.D. Vance has one of the most compelling stories in American politics, overcoming so much adversity in life. He understands the struggles of working Americans, as he has walked in their shoes and has become one of their best champions. Bright, articulate, and a Marine veteran, he will serve President Trump well on the campaign trail. It is imperative we win this election to end the disastrous policies of the Biden Administration and Make America Great Again. J.D. is a hard worker with a beautiful family who will be a great spokesperson for the America First agenda. This is a clear choice for America.”
Michigan Republican Party Chair Pete Hoekstra: “Vice President JD Vance! A son of the Midwest, he will be great for Michigan and help to carry Michigan for the Trump Vance ticket in November!”
