Senator JD Vance, a Republican from Ohio, made headlines on Monday as he departed from his home in Ohio with a motorcade, sparking speculation about his potential role as former President Trump's running mate. A video captured Vance leaving his residence in a motorcade, presumably en route to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Vance is currently considered a top contender for Trump's vice presidential nominee, alongside Senator Marco Rubio from Florida and Governor Doug Burgum from North Dakota. Known for his longstanding support of Trump, Vance has been a vocal advocate for the former president since the early stages of the GOP primary race.
Following the recent incident of an attempted assassination of Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Vance criticized President Biden for his rhetoric. In a statement, Vance highlighted that Biden's campaign's central premise portrays President Trump as an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. Vance went on to assert that such rhetoric directly contributed to the attempted assassination of Trump.
