Vance didn’t hold back when addressing the political climate, specifically criticizing President Joe Biden. “Joe Biden is the one who’s tried to throw his political opposition in jail,” Vance stated, referring to Trump’s indictment by Special Counsel Jack Smith, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
In a recent turn of events, a Florida judge dismissed the case concerning Trump’s handling of classified documents just before the Republican National Convention began.
“Joe Biden is the one who’s trying to undermine American law and order. President Trump did a really good job. And I actually think it’s a good thing. When you see somebody you were wrong about, you ought to admit the mistake and admit that you were wrong,” Vance continued, showing his firm support for Trump.
Trump formally announced Vance as his running mate on Monday afternoon. “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,” Trump declared on his Truth Social platform.
Highlighting Vance’s focus, Trump added, “On the campaign trail, he 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….”
Before his political career, Vance was a successful venture capitalist. As Yahoo Finance reported, his Silicon Valley connections initially helped him bring investment to Ohio, later aiding his Senate campaign and now contributing to Trump’s campaign.

“After graduating from Yale Law School in 2013, Vance moved to San Francisco, where he worked at Mithril Capital, a firm co-founded by former PayPal CEO and Republican donor Peter Thiel. Vance also spent time in his early career near the nation’s capital working for former AOL CEO Steve Case’s venture capital firm, Revolution LLC. There he spearheaded a project to expand capital opportunities to small towns like Middletown, Ohio — where Vance was born,” Fox reported.
Vice President Kamala Harris extended her congratulations to Vance following the announcement. A Biden campaign official told Fox News, “Vice President Harris reached out to Senator Vance and left a message to congratulate him on his selection, welcome him to the race, and express her hope that the two can meet in the vice-presidential debate proposed by CBS News.”
Trump’s announcement came on the first afternoon of the Republican National Convention, ending months of speculation about his choice. On behalf of Vance, Trump agreed to participate in a vice-presidential debate hosted by Fox News in May, although the Biden team has only agreed to a debate on CBS.
New York Rep. Nicole Malliotakis praised Vance as an excellent VP pick, saying, “JD Vance is a young, dynamic individual who is a great communicator. … He has an amazing personal story. He relates to regular American people all across the country, and I think that he will certainly add to the ticket,” Malliotakis told Fox News Digital from the RNC. “Not to mention, he comes from a swing state, which is always helpful.”
With Vance on the ticket, Trump’s campaign is poised for a vigorous run, focusing on the heart of American concerns and aiming to reclaim the trust and support of the American people.
