On the first day of the Republican National Convention, Sen. J.D. Vance became the vice presidential nominee to run alongside former President Donald Trump. At 39 years old, the Ohio senator is the first millennial on a major ticket.

In the past, Vance was not always a supporter of Trump, once calling him “America’s Hitler,” saying he was a never-Trumper, even calling him a “total fraud.”
