Donald Trump has announced his deputy: James David Vance, 39 years old , former venture capitalist, senator from Ohio for a year, known for his 2016 bestselling memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy', an 'American Elegy' which tells of a family and a culture (that of Appalachia) in crisis.
In the past he had been among the tycoon's critics: "He is harmful and reprehensible", he said of him . Vance's name knows how to mobilize the base and can attract votes in crucial states, but he is also the one with the least political experience among the eligible candidates.
“After much deliberation and reflection, and considering the extraordinary talents of many others, I have decided that the best person to assume the office of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our country in the Marine Corps, graduated in two years from The Ohio State University, summa cum laude, and graduated from Yale Law School, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal and president of Yale Law Veterans Association,” Trump writes in Truth.
«The book 'Hillbilly Elegy', - he continues - became a great bestseller and a film, as it defended the hard-working men and women of our country. JD has had a very successful business career in technology and finance and now, during the campaign, he will focus sharply on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American workers and farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota and far beyond..."
Today the Republican convention in Milwaukee officially endorsed Trump's presidential candidacy .
