J.D. Vance

As Trump's running mate, Vance has made it his mission to enact Trump's Project 2025 agenda. Since being chosen, JD Vance' time on the campaign trail has been defined by his close links with Project 2025, his hard-line stance against abortion, and his denial of the results of the 2020 election.
