Trump sees in Jay Vance a worthy partner - Rezazade
Ali Reza Rezazade, the leader of the Iranian opposition in Washington, points out that former President Donald Trump chose Jay Vance as his running mate, propelling the 39-year-old junior senator to global prominence. Trump praises Vance's education and business experience in technology and finance.
Vance is a relative newcomer to politics, but his popularity in the Republican Party is growing. A Trump victory in November would make Vance one of the youngest vice presidents in history.
Six facts you need to know about JD Vance:
He is the author of the bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy
Before his political career, Vance was best known for his memoir Hillbilly Elegy, published in 2016 to critical literary acclaim. The book is described as a "memoir about family and culture in crisis," in which Vance offers a poignant account of the struggles of white working-class America through the lens of his family in a poor Rust Belt town. It depicts the family's possible upward mobility and ongoing struggle with the traumas of the past.
His wife Usha worked as a lawyer
Vance is married to Ushya Vance, the daughter of Indian immigrants, whom he met at Yale Law School. Most recently, she worked as an attorney in the San Francisco and Washington offices of Munger, Tolles & Olson. On Monday, the company confirmed in a statement that Usha resigned from her position.
He grew up in a steel mill community in Ohio
Vance grew up in poverty in Middletown, Ohio, a town he described as a place of "bleeding work and hope" after quality jobs, particularly in the steel industry, began to disappear.
He once railed against Trump, comparing him to Hitler
Vance has previously criticized the former president in the media and in private meetings. In a text message in 2016, he said he saw the then-presidential candidate as a cynical, Nixonian, "American Hitler."
He embraced the populist shift for the Republican Party under Trump
Vance has generally followed Trump's populist approach to the Republican Party and has often supported positions at odds with more traditional conservatives on economic issues, including trade and free markets.
He blamed Biden's campaign rhetoric for the shooting at the Trump rally
After a sniper opened fire at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Vance blamed the Biden campaign.
