Vance was one of a handful of Republicans considered a front-runner for the job.

Donald Trump has decided on a candidate for the post of US vice president if he wins the presidential election in November.

He chose 39-year-old Senator J.D. Vance from Ohio. Notably, Vance is now one of Trump’s main supporters in the Senate, although he previously criticized the politician, Fox News writes .

Vance was a vocal critic of Trump when the former president first ran for the White House in 2016. However, he eventually endorsed Trump, “praising the former president’s tenure in the White House.” In a 2021 interview with Fox News, he apologized for his previous criticism of Trump.VIDEO OF THE DAY

“Look, I was wrong about Donald Trump. I didn’t think he would be a good president. He was a great president, and that’s one of the reasons I’m working so hard to get him a second term,” Vance said.

It is worth noting that in the Senate, Vance was one of the most vocal supporters of Trump’s “America First” program. He is also a staunch opponent of U.S. aid to Ukraine.

US Elections: What You Need to Know

The US presidential election is scheduled for November 2024. The main candidates for the post are Democrat Joe Biden, who currently heads the White House, and his predecessor, Republican Donald Trump. However, Biden’s chances of winning are not very high. The reason for this is his age, as well as the disastrous first debate, after which he was called to withdraw from the election.

Donald Trump is leading Joe Biden significantly in swing-state voter ratings, a lead that was already in place before the failed assassination attempt on the Republican nominee in Pennsylvania the other day. Polls suggest that Trump is likely to win the presidency.
