During a recent joint interview with former President Donald Trump, GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance shared the story of how he received the phone call from Trump asking him to be his running mate. Vance revealed that Trump had actually asked to speak to his wife, Usha, during the call, which both Vance and his wife appreciated. Usha was described as being flabbergasted by the unexpected turn of events.
Vance admitted that leading up to the call, he and his wife had no idea whether Trump would choose him or other potential candidates like Marco Rubio or Doug Burgum. However, when the call came through, Vance found himself in a humorous situation as his 7-year-old son was in the background talking about Pokemon cards. Vance jokingly expressed his exasperation to his son, urging him to be quiet at that moment.
Trump, unfazed by the background noise, requested to speak to Vance's son and proceeded to announce the news of Vance's nomination as vice president. In response, Vance's son simply remarked, 'Well, it's good,' showcasing a moment of lightheartedness and innocence amidst the significant announcement.
The interview, which aired on Fox News, provided a glimpse into the personal and candid interactions that took place during the pivotal moment of Vance's vice presidential nomination.
