The 39-year-old Republican now in his first term in the Senate rose to prominence with his memoir Hillbilly Elegy and has gone from a never-Trumper to fierce ally
JD Vance, author of 'Hillbilly Elegy,' holds his book as he speaks with supporters after a rally on July 1, 2021, in Middletown, Ohio.Former president Donald Trump on Monday chose U.S. Senator JD Vance of Ohio to be his running mate as he looks to return to the White House.
“Hillbilly Elegy” also introduced Vance to the Trump family. Donald Trump Jr. loved the book and knew of Vance when he went to launch his political career. The two hit it off and have remained friends.After Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Vance returned to his native Ohio and set up an anti-opioid charity.
But by the time Vance met Trump in 2021, he had reversed his opinion, citing Trump’s accomplishments as president. Both men downplayed Vance’s past scathing criticism. Once elected, Vance became a fierce Trump ally on Capitol Hill, unceasingly defending Trump’s policies and behaviour.
