JD Vance is the 50th Vice President of the United States, serving under President Donald Trump since January 20, 2025. Born on August 2, 1984, in Middletown, Ohio, Vance gained national recognition with his 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” which reflected on his upbringing in the Appalachian region and provided insight into the white working-class experience.
Vance’s political journey began with his election to the U.S. Senate in 2022, where he represented Ohio until 2025. In July 2024, President Trump selected Vance as his vice-presidential running mate, and they secured victory in the November 2024 election. Notably, Vance is the first millennial to hold the office of Vice President.
In recent developments, a leaked Signal chat revealed Vance’s critical stance on U.S. airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, highlighting his concerns over European interests and resource allocation. Additionally, Vance’s wife, Usha, is planning a high-profile visit to Greenland, though specific details have yet to be disclosed.
