Donald Trump has chosen the junior Senator from Ohio, JD Vance. Vance, who will turn 40 on August 2nd, is the youngest candidate on a major party ticket since Dwight Eisenhower chose the 39-year old Richard Nixon in 1952.

Vance was elected to the Senate just two years ago. He was critical of Trump during his 2016 run but Trump endorsed him in his Senate race against Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan, which he won 53-47%. He was a public relations specialist with the Marine Corps during the Iraq War. He has a BA from The Ohio State University and his law degree from Yale.

He came to prominence in 2016 with his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.
