as posted by the channelAbove all else, #Republican presidential nominee Donald #Trump’s selection of JD #Vance as his running mate for the 2024 election signals how powerful populism remains in US politics.

The bearded senator, who often campaigns in jeans and a button-down shirt, rose from poverty to become a venture capitalist. Born in 1984 and raised in Middletown, Ohio, in part by his grandmother, he served with the US Marines in Iraq and later attended #Yale Law School. #politics
