Here are some things to know about Vance, a 39-year-old Republican now in his first term in the Senate:
Vance rose to prominence with the memoir ‘Hillbilly Elegy’
Vance was born and raised in Middletown, Ohio. He joined the Marines and served in Iraq, and later earned degrees from Ohio State University and Yale Law School. He also worked as a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley.
Vance made a name for himself with his memoir, the 2016 bestseller “Hillbilly Elegy," which was published as Trump was first running for president. The book earned Vance a reputation as someone who could help explain the maverick New York businessman’s appeal in middle America, especially among the working class, rural white voters who helped Trump win the presidency.
“Hillbilly Elegy” also introduced Vance to the Trump family. Donald Trump Jr. loved the book and knew of Vance when he went to launch his political career. The two hit it off and have remained friends.

Great choice for vice President! Congratulations to you and your family🎉

I hope he puts as much time and effort into his debate research as he did with his comments on the UK Islamic state. Do you know he lived over there for a decade in five major cities to gauge the exact political and social climate? He didn't just mouth off about somewhere and something he knows nothing about, making himself look a complete arse.

Such a awesome VP pick.
-
Younger Vance is efficient, go-getter. Trump needs a partner who can step in anytime to get many tasks done. These two are hard-working leaders. Vance is about as solid/tall as Trump, very good candidate indeed.

The guy thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to get out of violent marriages. He wants to end social security. He wants a national block on any type of abortion.
