About our J.D. Vance news
Latest news on JD Vance, Donald Trump's vice president and former Ohio senator, covering his transition to office, policy positions, and role in the new administration.
James David "JD" Vance (born 1984) has assumed office as the 50th Vice President of the United States, serving alongside President Donald Trump. A former venture capitalist and bestselling author of "Hillbilly Elegy", Vance rose to national prominence through his journey from a working-class background in Middletown, Ohio, to his current position as second-in-command of the executive branch.
Having resigned his Senate seat on 10 January 2025 in preparation for the vice presidency, Vance enters office after a notable tenure representing Ohio. His recent statements have focused on economic nationalism, family-first policies, and a proposed expansion of the child tax credit to $5,000. His vice-presidential debate performance against Tim Walz in October 2024 was widely praised by political commentators for its effectiveness in defending the Trump administration's positions.
As the first Millennial and third-youngest vice president in U.S. history, Vance brings a distinctive perspective to the role. His Catholic faith and interfaith marriage to Usha Chilukuri Vance, with whom he has three children, reflect the diverse personal backgrounds increasingly common in American political leadership. His military service as a Marine Corps veteran has also shaped his approach to public service.
Vance's political evolution has been closely watched, particularly his transformation from a Trump critic in 2016 to a strong supporter by 2021. His selection as Trump's running mate was influenced by several tech industry figures and conservative leaders, including Peter Thiel and Tucker Carlson. His connections to Silicon Valley, combined with his Rust Belt roots, have positioned him as a bridge between different constituencies within the Republican Party.
