GOP presidential hopeful Donald J. Trump, just as the Republican National Convention was getting under way on Monday, announced U.S. Sen. JD Vance as his 2024 running mate.
Vance of Ohio has been a vocal ally of Trump, and at 39, would be one of the youngest vice presidents ever.
Vance long had been considered a top option for Trump, and the choice was announced only days after Trump escaped an assassin’s bullet during a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.
Vance, over the weekend, blamed Democrats for the rhetoric, the atmosphere, and the political weaponization that Democrats have brought against Trump and resulted in the shooting.

Leftist publications immediately pointed out that the choice means that “the Republican Party’s 2024 ticket with (sic) have neither a woman nor a person of color on it.”
Kamala Harris, vice president for Joe Biden, is a woman and a person of color, and has had a noticeably small impact on American policy and practice during her time as lady-in-waiting on Biden.
