Following the former president Trump’s selection of Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate for 2024, Donald Trump Jr. praised Vance, a friend and ally.
According to Trump Jr., Vance—a Yale Law School alumnus and an outspoken supporter of the former president on television—will assist his father in “prosecuting the case” against Democrats in the run-up to the November election.
“I think it’s an incredible pick. I think he’s an incredible guy with an amazing story, both in business and in life, and I think it’s going to be an incredible person to help unify this country,” Don Jr. said.
“I’ve seen him on TV, I’ve seen him prosecute the case against the Democrats. I think no one is more articulate than that, and I think his story, his background, really helps us a lot in the places you are going to need from the Electoral College standpoint,” he continued.
Following the announcement last week that Trump Jr., the president’s son, will speak this week at the Republican National Convention ahead of the vice presidential selection, speculation that Vance would be selected as Trump’s running mate intensified.
On the eve of the convention, Trump Jr. shared a video of Vance’s 2022 Senate campaign kickoff in an effort to reintroduce the Ohio Republican to supporters.
