Trump announces 39-year-old senator JD Vance as his VP pick
Vance is 39, and has spent a single term in the US senate, making him one of the least experienced US VP picks in modern times. Donald Trump on Monday named right-wing Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate in the US presidential election, a one-time harsh critic who became one of his most loyal supporters in Congress.
He made his name with the 2016 memoir"Hillbilly Elegy," a best-selling account of his Appalachian family and modest Rust Belt upbringing, which gave a voice to rural, working-class resentment in left-behind America. The attempted assassination -- in which one bystander was killed, and two more wounded -- was expected to dominate proceedings, with Trump dismissing calls to postpone and vowing to be"defiant in the face of wickedness."
Leading in multiple polls, despite being convicted at his hush-money criminal case in New York, Trump is exuding confidence. Trump told the Post he had"prepared an extremely tough speech" about Biden's"horrible administration" to deliver when he becomes the official Republican nominee on Thursday.
