At The New York Sun, Matthew Rice discusses the choice by President Donald Trump to name Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate. Rice describes Vance as an “anti-woke warrior.” He writes:
President Trump has chosen Senator Vance, the conservative Ohio populist, to be his running mate in the 2024 election after months of anticipation.
The former president made the announcement in a Truth Social post Monday afternoon.
“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio,” Trump said. The former president highlighted Mr. Vance’s record as a Marine, a graduate of Yale Law School, and a bestselling author.
Mr. Vance, at just 39 years old, will be the youngest vice presidential nominee of a major political party since President Nixon ran with President Eisenhower in 1952. The Ohio senator was elected in just 2022, making him a candidate with some of the least experience in modern history.
He has made his mark as an “anti-woke” warrior in the upper chamber, and has made it clear that American foreign policy must be geared much more toward the interests of the American middle class rather than goals like protecting democracy abroad and upholding international defense obligations.
