Trump announces COS supporter J.D. Vance as VP
[July 15, 2024] - Former President Donald Trump, who officially clinched his party’s 2024 presidential nomination on Monday, July 15, has chosen Senator, best-selling author, and Convention of States supporter J.D. Vance as his running mate.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, stating, “After careful consideration and assessing the tremendous talents of many, I have determined that Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio is the ideal candidate for Vice President of the United States.” Trump praised Vance for his unwavering “[focus] on the people.”
In the past, Vance expressed his support for an Article V convention in a Convention of States candidate survey. He answered “yes” to both questions: whether he would support and vote for the Convention of States Project’s application for an Article V convention and whether he believed it was “appropriate” for state legislatures to use their authority granted in Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose constitutional amendments through a state-led convention.
The best-selling author of the wildly popular memoir “Hillbilly Elegy” and a former Marine, Vance has frequently condemned the political elites who control the country.
“We are ruled by unserious people who are worried about fake problems instead of the real fact that our country is falling apart in some of the most important ways,” he once stated.
“J.D. Vance is a serious dyed-in-the-wool leader who will take the needs of the American people seriously,” expressed Convention of States President Mark Meckler. “Raised in a Rust Belt town in middle America, he understands that the grassroots is more important than the political elites. Vance’s rise from poverty to Yale Law School and, subsequently, the United States Senate serves as a modern-day testament to the enduring promise of the American dream.”
