James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman) is an American politician and lawyer and United States senator from Ohio since 2023. He was announced and nominated as Donald Trump's running mate on the Republican ticket for the 2024 United States presidential election. With a political presentation as a "social conservative", he seems in reality to be a front man for Peter Thiel and the Paypal Mafia.
Activities
Vance worked as principal at Peter Thiel's firm, Mithril Capital, between 2016 and 2017.[1][2]
In 2019, Vance co-founded Narya Capital in Cincinnati with financial backing from Thiel, Eric Schmidt, and Marc Andreessen.[3] With Thiel and former Trump adviser Darren Blanton, Vance has invested in the online video platform Rumble.[4]
Vance received a record-breaking amount of money from deep state actor Peter Thiel to win the seat as Senator from Ohio. Thiel had already donated support J.D. Vance in the Ohio Republican Senate primary, in total investing $15 million to bolster Vance — the largest amount ever given to boost a single Senate candidate.[5]
Vance is a strong supporter of U.S. support for Israel amid the Israel–Hamas war.[6]
