Senator JD Vance, a prominent figure from Ohio, is among the leading candidates to be former President Trump's running mate. In a recent exclusive interview, Vance, along with his wife Usha, discussed his military service and his belief in the need for Trump's second term.
Vance, a former U.S. Marine, emphasized his concern for national defense and the welfare of troops. He praised Trump's presidency, crediting him with bringing prosperity, freedom and peace to the global stage. Usha expressed her support for her husband, stating that they are open to the possibility of him being vice president.
Although Vance was initially critical of Trump in 2016, he admitted that Trump's presidency proved him wrong. He has also criticized the media for its alleged corruption and dishonesty. Unlike Vice President Kamala Harris, Vance said he doesn't rely on talking points and isn't afraid to admit when he's wrong.
Vance, who grew up in a working-class community, believes his background makes him less vulnerable to attack. He claimed that if he becomes Trump's vice president, he will be able to handle any criticism. He also stressed the importance of focusing on substantive issues rather than resorting to talking points.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Trump's vice presidential pick, Vance expressed gratitude for being considered. He also admitted that he would feel a sense of disappointment if he was not chosen. However, he remains grateful for his current role and the opportunity to serve.
Vance's popularity with Trump's base and his potential to attract working-class Democratic voters in key battleground states make him a strong contender. His frequent appearances with Trump on the campaign trail have further cemented his position among Trump's base.
Regardless of the outcome, Vance and his wife Usha have expressed their commitment to their role as parents to their three children.
