The Republican National Convention kicked off in Milwaukee on Monday, formally nominating Donald Trump as the GOP nominee ahead of November's elections. As state delegates elevated the former president to the party's ticket, he announced his pick for Vice President: Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
The announcement is the culmination of weeks of speculation on who would accompany Trump on the ticket. Sources close to the candidate had hinted for weeks now that Vance was the official pick, but Trump, ever the showman, milked the drama until hours before the convention.
