    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D.

    Vance, a venture capitalist and the author of the best-selling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” was elected to the Senate in 2022 after receiving a boost from Trump in a contentious Republican primary.

    But he earned Trump’s endorsement in the 2022 Ohio Republican Senate primary after a concerted yearlong effort by Vance to embrace a new image as a leading MAGA proponent, courting the former president at meetings in Mar-a-Lago and through appearances on Fox News.

    In a display of loyalty, Vance was one of several potential running mates and Republican lawmakers to stand by Trump’s side at a New York courthouse during his criminal hush money trial.

    In addition to his MAGA credentials, Vance also brings ties to traditionally liberal-leaning Silicon Valley to the presidential ticket.

    He recently helped organize a fundraiser for Trump in San Francisco hosted by prominent tech venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya.

      VP is president of the senate and stays in the naval observatory.

      This just shows you don’t know what a VP does.

      I agree with the age. I just don’t know his politics well.

      I do know he is an inspiring man. If half the lefties followed his example, they wouldn’t be whining about their lives. Guy grew up poor with an addict as his mother, joined the Marines, and then went on to an Ivy League school.

      He took responsibility for his life and did something with it.
