US former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump applauds next to US Senator from Ohio and Republican vice-president candidate JD Vance during the first day of the 2024 Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jul 15, 2024. The 39-year-old is the first millennial to join a major-party ticket at a time of deep concern about the advanced age of America’s political leaders.
Vance made a name for himself with his memoir, the 2016 bestseller Hillbilly Elegy, which was published as Trump was first running for president. Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance greets delegates as he arrives on the floor during the first day of the 2024 Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum, Jul 15, 2024, in Milwaukee.
The book earned Vance a reputation as someone who could help explain the maverick New York businessman’s appeal in middle America, especially among the working class and rural white voters who helped Trump win the presidency. "I think it shows that our party is not only unified, but that the Republican Party is embracing youth," New York's Representative Anthony D'Esposito told CNA at the Republican National Convention."He brings a lot of energy. He's young, he's military.
Once elected, Vance became a fierce Trump ally on Capitol Hill, unceasingly defending Trump’s policies and behaviour. His evolution mirrored a broader realignment within the conservative movement, as Trump tightened his grip on the party, allowing little dissent from critics and ending the careers of Republicans who criticised him in public.
"Unlike Trump's more conventional Republican followers, Vance's New Right cohort see Trump as merely the first step in a broader populist-nationalist revolution that is already reshaping the American right," it said.Biden on Monday dismissed Vance as a Trump"clone".
