It's JD
Is it just me, or does JD Vance look kind of confused about how he ended up in the Senate in his official Senate photo (above)?
Anyways, I've looked a lot more confused in photos. Here are some facts about the man Donald Trump has chosen to be his running mate:
-- He's from Middletown, which is oddly in Southwest Ohio rather than in the middle of Ohio.
-- His parents were kind of messy, and he was raised primarily by his grandparents.
-- He went straight into the Marine Corps after high school, and served in Iraq.
-- After that, he enrolled in Ohio State University, which is like Ohio University but bigger. Way bigger.
-- Then he went to Yale Law, where the Tiger Mom, Amy Chua, told him he had to write a memoir or she'd be mad, so he did. The memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," was a bestseller.
-- After law school he worked for a big firm and then some venture capitalists. In 2019, he launched his own venture capital firm.
-- In 2022 he ran for the Senate in Ohio, for the seat vacated by Rob Portman, and won.
