Donald Trump’s eldest son, Don Jr., reportedly played a significant role in his father’s selection of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate. It turns out that Don Jr., 46, is close friends with the author of the book «Hillbilly Elegy», - Vance, 39, according to an article from Page Six on Monday, July 15. Furthermore, the former president’s son is also considering future involvement in elections alongside Vance.
Shortly after Trump, 78, announced that the Ohio senator would be his vice presidential candidate, a source told the publication that Don Jr. helped persuade his father to choose Vance as his vice presidential candidate. «Don Jr. and Vance are now best friends», - the source said. «Rumors suggest that people think Don Jr. may be on the list of vice presidential candidates in 2028».
Vance underwent significant changes, transitioning from a «never Trump» Republican to becoming his vice presidential candidate. After starting his campaign for the Senate, he acknowledged that Trump was the «leader of this movement» in an interview with Time magazine in July 2021. «If I really care about these people and what I’m talking about, if it matters to me, I just need to swallow it and support him», - he said. Don Jr. later expressed support for Vance on social media and said he is a supporter of his father, according to The New York Times.
Trump announced Vance as his vice presidential candidate on his Truth Social platform on Monday, July 15. «After lengthy discussions and reflections, considering the immense talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance from the great state of Ohio», - he said.
After Vance’s announcement, he expressed his joy at the opportunity to run for office on Truth Social (formerly Twitter). «Just overwhelmed with gratitude. What an honor to run alongside President Donald J. Trump. He delivered peace and prosperity once, and with your help, he will do it again», - he wrote. «Onward to victory!»
