 Trump, Vance, 2024. I think this is a really great pick. There were a number of people who were discussed as potential VP picks who they ended up, a lot of them didn't quite make the short list. But I've said for a long, long time, I thought J.D. Vance would be an excellent choice. Here's what President Trump said. After lengthy deliberation and thought and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I've 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.
