Ohio Sen. JD Vance has been formally nominated as Donald Trump’s vice president by acclamation. The nomination took place at the Republican National Convention where Trump officially became the GOP’s presidential nominee earlier on Monday during the roll call.
When nominating a vice president, the candidate's name is placed into the nomination and seconded. Traditionally, a vice presidential candidate is nominated by acclamation, which is a voice vote, to avoid a potentially time-consuming roll call vote. This practice has been followed by both parties since 1988.
