Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, a rising star in the Republican Party, hinted on Fox News that he would be downright thrilled to be Donald Trump’s running mate. The rumor mill is churning with intel that Vance is being considered for the VP slot, along with a squad of other heavy hitters like Sen. Tim Scott, Gov. Kristi Noem, and a smattering of others. And let’s not forget the former prez, the man himself, who is no stranger to stirring the pot and sending shockwaves through the political realm.
Now, here’s the thing: Vance has never actually had a sit-down with Trump about this whole shebang. But that’s not stopping Vance from expressing his enthusiasm at the possibility of joining forces with the former commander-in-chief. In fact, Vance made it clear that he would seriously entertain the idea if it were offered to him. After all, who wouldn’t be honored to run alongside the man who helped him win his Senate seat, am I right?

In Vance’s chat with Fox News, he lauded Trump for championing the cause of bringing back manufacturing jobs to the good ol’ U.S. of A. And let’s be real, that’s a pretty big deal in Ohio. Vance believes that Trump is forging a new path for the GOP, and he’s not about to let the old guard drag the party back into the dark ages. He even talked about the need to stick with Trump’s winning agenda and not backtrack into the wasteland of the “old ways.”
According to a recent poll, the voters seem to be all in on the idea of a Trump-DeSantis ticket. It’s clear that the Trump train has some serious steam, and the people are on board with that dynamic duo. But don’t sleep on Nikki Haley either. She’s giving everyone a run for their money in the veepstakes.
And let’s not forget about our pal Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who’s already secured support by announcing his running mate. The plot thickens as we wait to see who will be the chosen ones to climb aboard the 2024 Republican ticket. Stay tuned, folks. It’s about to get even more interesting.
