Expert: Trump and Vance formally nominated for 2024 presidential election at RNC

Published: 16 July 2024

Donald Trump US Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, further elevating the Ohio Republican who has adopted the former president鈥檚 populist agenda after years of pointed criticism of Trump. 鈥淎fter 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,鈥 Trump said on his Truth Social platform. ()

鈥淚n choosing J. D. Vance as his running mate, Donald Trump overcame his ego and made the politically astute choice. At 39, Vance is one of the youngest vice-presidential nominees in history, which will highlight Trump鈥檚 advanced age. And while few can rival Trump鈥檚 thirst for publicity, Vance comes close. But Trump was able to look past these issues and pick Vance because of the Ohio senator鈥檚 ability to communicate the extreme racist and xenophobic positions of his MAGA base in a less bombastic, more genteel style befitting his Yale Law School pedigree. Vance will add to Trump鈥檚 faux-populist gambit to redirect anger about the real problems facing working-class Americans鈥攕tagnating wages, declining job quality, eroding communities鈥攁way from the root causes and towards vulnerable scapegoats, particularly immigrants.鈥
