About the Republican VP Candidate
Vance has risen quickly to become Trump’s vice presidential nominee, and he would be the third-youngest vice president in history if their ticket wins this fall. He was raised in Kentucky and Ohio and wrote about his mother’s battle with drug addiction, a rotating cast of father figures and the other socioeconomic challenges his family faced in “Hillbilly Elegy,” a bestselling memoir that first earned him broad notice in 2016. Vance served in the Marines after high school, including in Iraq, and later graduated from Ohio State University and earned a law degree from Yale University, where he met his wife, Usha. Vance worked in venture capital before he moved back to his home state to start his own firm and eventually run for office in 2022, winning an open Ohio Senate seat after reversing his previous criticism of Donald Trump and earning his endorsement in a crowded primary.
