Former US President Donald Trump wasn’t the only leader who received a rockstar welcome at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Monday. Also soaking in the adulation was JD Vance, the 39-year-old Ohio senator picked by Trump – two days after an assassination bid on the ex-president – as his vice presidential nominee for the November election.
Vance once wondered whether Trump was “cynical a**hole” or “America’s Hitler”. Now, he is poised to serve as Trump’s wingman, and potentially, the next vice president of the United States.
