Washington, United States — Combative and ultra-loyal, J.D. Vance’s rise to Donald Trump’s running mate this November completes a remarkable transformation for a 39-year-old senator now seen as the future face of the Republican party.
“If you’re fighting Trump and his endorsed candidates politically today, don’t ask for my help,” he said.Once self-described as “a Never Trump guy,” Vance previously called the billionaire an “idiot,” “noxious” and “reprehensible,” according to extensive reporting, while expressing worry that he might be “America’s Hitler.”
In Congress, he has become one of Trump’s most ardent advocates, particularly over his numerous struggles in criminal and civil court. Vance later transitioned from law into the world of technology investment, joining Peter Thiel’s Mithril Capital in 2017. Vance came to the attention of Trumpworld when his book was picked up by the ex-president’s eldest son Don Jr — now a close friend and admirer of Vance, and reportedly a big influence in his VP nomination.Once an affable, bookish type, Vance has since become the kind of warrior on the Sunday morning TV circuit that Trump appreciates, lobbing verbal grenades against opponents and generally slinging mud on his mentor’s behalf.
Perfectly aligned with Trump’s America First movement on issues like immigration reform, economic protectionism and cultural conservatism, Vance has adopted the ex-president’s confrontational style.
