Donald J. Trump announced his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, as Republicans kicked off their convention on Monday and formally made Mr. Trump their nominee. Mr. Vance, once a Trump critic, is an ambitious ideologue who relishes the spotlight.
Former President Donald J. Trump tapped Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio to be his running-mate as the Republican National Convention was gaveled into order on Monday, selecting the former Marine as his pick for vice president two days after surviving an attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania. Mr. Vance, a one-time critic of Mr. Trump whose embrace of the former president’s politics fueled his rapid rise, quickly emerged as a prodigious fund-raiser and defender of Mr. Trump since arriving in the Senate last year.
The announcement came amid anticipation that Mr. Trump would break from tradition and deliver a spontaneous speech to the convention — what would be his first public appearance since he was wounded in an assassination attempt — as the party gathered to formally nominate him to run a third time for president.
Here’s the deal about J.D. Vance. He talks a big game about working people. But now, he and Trump want to raise taxes on middle-class families while pushing more tax cuts for the rich.
Well, I don’t intend to let them. And if you’re with me, pitch in: https://t.co/ALkc9uHFh9
