Donald Trump

Some in Middletown, where Vance grew up with his grandparents, said he has never been an advocate for them. Even so, Vance’s roots could be enough for folks eager to see the “hometown kid” succeed.

Newly minted vice presidential nominee JD Vance built his Wednesday night speech to the Republican National Convention around his own Appalachian roots, but it wasn't the first time he had shared his personal story.

On Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, the Ohio senator toned down his usual rhetoric and focused instead on his family and his appeal to working-class voters.

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance share a vision on the direction of an evolving Republican party. They have argued that many foreign conflicts have failed to serve U.S. interests.

Trump's vice-presidential pick is arguably the most important decision of his 2024 campaign. Vance, who is literally half the 78-year-old Trump's age, has the least political experience on a short list that included Sen. Marco Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.

Ohio's junior senator, J.D. Vance, is not a traditional vice presidential running mate, chosen for geographic balance or tapping into new voter group. He is there for his blind loyalty.

President Joe Biden and many Ohio politicians have called for political discourse to "cool down" after Donald Trump was shot at a rally Saturday.

The last vice president from Ohio was Charles Fairbanks, a former Indiana governor who was born in Unionville Center, Ohio in 1852. Fairbanks served under President Theodore Roosevelt for four years from 1905 until 1909.

Former President Donald Trump put an end to months of guesswork Monday, cementing the distinct possibility the next vice president of the United States will be from Ohio.

President Joe Biden warned Sunday of the risks of political violence in the U.S. after Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, saying, “It's time to cool it down.”
