James David 'J. D.' Vance (born James Donald Bowman) is an American politician and lawyer and US 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, and became Vice President of the United States in January 2025.

With a political image as a "social conservative", he seems in reality to be a front man for Peter Thiel and the Paypal Mafia.

Background

After graduating from Middletown High School, Vance joined the US Marine Corps, where he became a corporal and served from 2003 to 2007 as a combat correspondent, with six months in Iraq. He attended Ohio State University afterward, graduating in 2009, then graduated in 2013 from Yale Law School, where he was an editor of The Yale Law Journal.

Activities

Vance worked as principal at Peter Thiel's firm, Mithril Capital, between 2016 and 2017.

In 2019, Vance co-founded Narya Capital in Cincinnati with financial backing from Thiel, Eric Schmidt, and Marc Andreessen. With Thiel and former Trump adviser Darren Blanton, Vance has invested in the online video platform Rumble.

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.

Vance is a strong supporter of U.S. support for Israel amid the Israel–Hamas war.

Publication

In 2016, Vance published his memoir "Hillbilly Elegy", which was given considerable attention by the commercially-controlled media during the 2016 US election. In 2020, it was adapted into a Netflix film starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close.

Document:JD Vance has some weird influences	Article	17 July 2024	Gavin Haynes	"I think Trump is going to run again in 2024", JD Vance once said. "I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people."
