Donald Trump has revealed that J.D. Vance will be his running mate in the 2024 Presidential Election. He made the announcement on Truth Social, Monday, as the Republican National Convention kicked off in Milwaukee. He is expected to speak on the decision at some point during the event.

"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 wrote in the post on Truth Social. He added that Vance "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."
